I can assure you that JSPs can be reloaded as often as needed using the App Engine dev server. My development environment (IntelliJ IDEA) is currently set to automatically copy all changed non-Java files to the deployed directory when the IDE loses focus. The effect is that all I have to do is toggle to my browser's window and hit refresh to see the changes. If anything, I think the problem lies in Eclipse or its configuration. Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with the environment, but this SO question seems like it could be relevant, even though the server in the question is Tomcat: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/998737/integrating-tomcat-and-eclipse-as-a-hot-deploy-environment
