When you create a new Eclipse project, the WebContent folder is closed by default. We should include logic to have that folder open by default. (We already have logic that sets the initial folder for new HTML files as WebContent/, which is the most important thing to do.)

Even better would be to find a way to make WebContent appear as the effective root folder. But we don't want to absolutely prevent users from going into WebContent's parent or sibling folders, just help prevent the user from getting messed up. My favorite idea would be to include a File palette UI option to show all projects versus show current project, and another option to show WebContent only versus the entire project. But let's wait until we have the UI folks helping us with a redesign of the UI on the Files palette before trying such ideas.
