How to change webAppDir to point to "WebContent" instead of src/main/webapp

How to change webAppDir to point to /web instead of src/main/webapp

I am trying to change the webAppDir to WebContent (Dynamic Web Application Structure in eclipse).

I am using gradle 1.7. When i am trying to do the same thing as mention in Forum, it gives me error :

Creating properties on demand (a.k.a. dynamic properties) has been deprecated
and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0.
 Please read http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.plugins.ExtraPropertiesExtension.html
for information on the replacement for dynamic properties.
  Deprecated dynamic property: "webAppDirName" on "root project 'xxxxxxxxxx", value: "WebContent".

The output WAR contains two folder “WEB-INF” and “META-INF”

apply plugin: 'war'
 apply plugin: 'jetty'
 apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
    sourceSets {
  main {
   java {
    srcDir 'src'
   }
   resources {
    srcDir 'src'
   }
       }
 }
 configurations { moreLibs }
    repositories {
  flatDir { dirs "WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" }
  mavenCentral()
 }
    dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: "WebContent/WEB-INF/lib", include: '*.jar')
  providedCompile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1'
  runtime 'javax.servlet:jstl:1.2'
 }
       /* Change context path (base url). otherwise defaults to name of project */
 jettyRunWar.contextPath = ''

Please help.

Another question:

WEB-INF folder is also under WebContent. Whether the Copy of WebContent replace the classes folder.

Finally Resolved.

Answer is

’ project.webAppDirName = ‘WebContent’’

Build.gradle file :

apply plugin: 'war'
 apply plugin: 'jetty'
 apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
          project.webAppDirName = 'WebContent'
    sourceSets {
  main {
   java { srcDir 'src' }
   resources { srcDir 'src' }
  }
 }
 configurations { moreLibs }
    repositories {
  mavenCentral()
 }
    dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: "WebContent/WEB-INF/lib", include: '*.jar')
  providedCompile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1'
  runtime 'javax.servlet:jstl:1.2'
 }
    war {
  exclude 'WEB-INF/lib/**'
  exclude 'WEB-INF/classes/**'
 }
 /* Change context path (base url). otherwise defaults to name of project */
 jettyRunWar.contextPath = ''
