I have a project that was created via intellij. There are others still using the project via intellij, so I cannot change the project structure.

My issue: How can I config myEclipse to recognize the WEB-INF directory outside of the webroot?

This can quickly be worked around on *nix with symbolic links, and also on Windows odly enough (NTFS actually supports sym links, not shortcuts). Otherwise if the structure is odd enough MyEclipse really won’t be able to function to it’s full capability.

Thanks. After an hour, I finally figured out how to do a symlink on windows. Nothing on windows is simple! I have been in a *nix (linux and OSX) environment for too long, I guess.
