Just because you're using Eclipse doesn't mean that web apps aren't required to be in WAR form. The same rules apply as do when you're not using Eclipse at all.
Actually, I don't dump my images in my webapp root. I keep an images directory and put them there. Also, commonly a JavaScript (js) and a style directory. It keeps the size of the webapp root down, organizes things neatly and consistently, and makes it easier if I need to set up special access-control rules.
Often the most important part of the news is what they didn't tell.
