The file system copy to the exploded directory is the best (and only, really) 
option for you to hot-deploy jsp files. 

In the next beta, there will be a new packaging configuration which could 
potentially be of use, but if you're already very fond of your ant file, you 
may not see any added benefit from it. Basically, it looks like  a front end to 
ant but allows you to package your project as an exploded directory, not just 
as a jar / war / ear.

For deployment, you say you're already using ant to copy the file to the jboss 
deploy directory, so you essentially already HAVE added a project to the server 
on your own.  The "add to server" mechanism currently only works for projects 
that are "Webtools Projects", like an EAR project, a dynamic web project, etc. 
In the next beta, you will also be able to 'add to server' any project that has 
a packaging configuration as mentioned above. 

Adding a project to the server is basically a way of saying 'this project is 
deployed', and then having the ability to republish it, remove it from the 
server, etc etc. But if you're already using ant, this stuff is all extra bells 
and whistles.
