How can I view the contents of my classes folder with Eclipse. I have a couple of XML files in there and I would like to edit them with MyEclipse.

Seth,
The WEB-INF/classes folder in MyEclipse is a build output folder. As a result, it is cleared whenever a full project rebuild is needed by the Java builder. So, placing non-class files in there directly isn’t a good idea since they’ll be deleted. Since your XML files need to go there on deployment, you should place them in a Java source folder instead. When the Java builder sees them, since they’re not Java files, it will just copy them to the classes folder so they’ll be in the correct spot during deployment. But, you should edit them in the source folder.
However, if you’d like to see what’s in your WEB-INF/classes folder at any time, you’ll need to use the Navigator view since the Package Explorer will always screen build output locations.
