Currently it's not possible to create HTML file in a Java package. It should be possible. Workaround is to move/copy the file there.
Geertjan, what's the use case? I think it is not so common and workaround is quite simple and obvious? -> P4?
Use-case is developing using Wicket, where you always want HTML files alongside your Java files. Wicket: http://wicket.sourceforge.net/
This can be done via the HTML template in the Other category. So, closing.
