Jacopo is correct about these points. The convention in OFBiz right now is to put FTL files in the directories directly under a webapp root, though they of course don't _have_ to go there technically. The same thing applies to BSH scripts being under the <webapp-root>/WEB-INF/actions directory. They don't have to go there, but for people who are used to working with J2EE Servlet based webapps that sort of place is the expected location, and that is the target audience for such things.
Also, the separation of the location of FTL files from BSH scripts is intentional as in larger teams some of those who work with FTL files never touch the BSH scripts, or never should, and this makes it easier to set up source tools and such to make such restrictions possible.
If typing it is annoying then maybe some creative copy-paste is in order?
