It is supported, but there is no UI that allows to do that.

You have to change the hidden file org.eclipse.wst.common.component (use 
Ctrl+Shift+R and type its name) in your project/.settings folder. Add as 
many <wb-resource> entries with deploy-path="/" as you need. Example:

<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-1"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-2"/>
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/folder-with-JSPs-3"/>

Save and that's it.

I suggest to enlist the folder containing your web.xml as the first one.

Then, please add your vote to one or both of the following enhancement 
requests:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=133359
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=107039

Hope this helps.

Mauro.
