With the Galileo release it is finally possible to convert a normal Java project to a dynamic web project. Unfortunately it assumes that the Web stuff is located in a folder WebContent, which is not necessarily the case for an existing project. How can I change it? In MyEclipse it is quite easy, but with a stock eclipse I don't find such an option!

WebContent folder is always considered as client side code in Java web projects. It contains like HTML, Css, JavaScript, jQuery, JSP pages etc. It also contains some configurations like how urls will be called i.e. . XML files with some configurations.
Right-mouse click in the repository view on the folder you want to rename and choose Rename path process. Rename the folder. Invoke "Add to Workspace". Perform synchronizing the Eclipse project folder and change will be reflected.
I am not sure what you meant by "a stock eclipse", but Helios allows this functionality in a very straight-forward way:

I am not sure if there is UI for this or not, but you can edit file .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component, and change following line:
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/> Change /WebContent to your preferred directory. I use this for a several years now and encountered no problems with it.
