Default location when creating a new file

When using a Mavenized web project with m2e-wtp, org.eclipse.wst.common.component looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
    <wb-module deploy-name="war">
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/target/m2e-wtp/web-resources"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp" tag="defaultRootSource"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/java"/>
        <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>
        <property name="context-root" value="war"/>
        <property name="java-output-path" value="/war/target/classes"/>
    </wb-module>
</project-modules>

If I select the project (or the src/main/webapp folder) and call the "New > HTML File" or "New > JSP file" wizards, the default location is always /target/m2e-wtp/web-resources, which m2e-wtp uses to keep generated files only. 

I expect the default location to be the folder I selected, if it's listed in the deployment assembly or the one tagged with "defaultRootSource" otherwise. 

This is pretty annoying actually, when you do demos.

Tested in Indigo SR2 and Juno M6.
