UI isn't currently available for modifying the "component" file.  You 
can review Bug 277482[1] for what might be coming in WTP 3.2.  You have 
likely figured out what to do by now.  But to complete the thread, the 
following <wb-resource> element would map the index.jsp to show up in 
the root of the webapp:

    <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/webapp/web"/>
