The ApplicationResources.properties files don't get copied when JBoss starts but when you run the ant deploy-war task for your tool (see
http://is.gd/bJVnj).
However, if you don't want to wait for all rebuilding your war, you can just copy the files manually to to the jboss-xx/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/lams-dictionary.jar/org/lamsfoundation/lams/tool/(your-tool-name) directory yourself.
Although, you will need to restart JBoss for those changes to take effect as the labels get loaded into memory on JBoss start up. (I don't think you can flush them and force them to reload again when LAMS is running)
