Just to summarize answers (1, 2) up:

Name your icon favicon.ico and put it into the /src/main/webapp (for Maven layout) or /WebContent (for standard Eclipse layout).
Specify icon in every HTML page (or master page if present):

<head>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico"/>
</head>
Refresh project / clean/restart server / refresh page with Ctrl+F5 (to skip browser's cache).
