With JSP modifications, you usually don't have to restart jboss. The WAR that the JSPs reside in does have to be expanded though. Most of the lams projects have 'explode-war' and 'synchronise-deploy' ant targets to facilitate this.

With code/jar changes, if your IDE supports hot code replace (we use Eclipse), you can run jboss from your IDE, and when you update code, the IDE will update the classes in the running JVM. This only works for minor blocks of code though, e.g. new methods or classes won't be inserted into the running JVM.

If you just want to reduce jboss startup time, don't deploy any lams tools you don't need, I think that's the biggest thing you can do...
