FWIW, If you're looking to do anything moderately serious, you're going to want to use Maven to manage your build and dependencies...
$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.foo.app -DartifactId=helloworld -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
$ cd helloworld
add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat-servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>7.0.12</version>
</dependency>
to the <dependencies> element
$ mkdir src/main/java
Add source files into src/main/java, jsp's / static resources into src/main/webapp, Your web.xml is in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
To build a .war file:
$ mvn package
The war file will be sitting in target/helloworld.war
