Use JDK 1.4 and run JBoss in debug mode so that when you make a change in Eclipse and recompile (save the file) it will be updated on-the-fly without any redeployment whatsoever. Also, do not use an EAR for development but rather loose jar files and an exploded war file. Then you can granulate Ant tasks to update specific jars. You have to touch web.xml to redploy a war, analogous to touching application.xml to redeploy an ear. Having said all that, the number one strategy to speed development in JBoss or anything else is a testing framework that allows you to exercise components individually. You can use Cactus to test server-side components and I highly recommend doing so.

Subject: [JBoss-user] Tips for development environment with JBoss
Hi all.
I'd like to know some tips you have to development with JBOSS.
Here at my job, we are using Eclipse as IDE and JBOSS IDE to help in
debugging.
I'd like to know what else I could use to help in the development with
JBoss. I mean, we are having to do a full deploy of ear to update code
as sometimes the hot code replace can't be done by jboss ide. We would
like to have some configuratio tip or procedure which could allow us to
be able to update the code without have to do a full deploy. Something
like the Tomcat plugin which allows me to update the code and already
handle the reload of classes.
Could you share your experiences and development environment setups so I
could get some ideas to use here at my job?
We are using JBOSS 3.2.3 and Eclipse 2.1.2.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
