I am going to try this right-away.

You can add extra deploy directories in jboss-service.xml so you deploy from
wherever you want. So, as long as you build into a directory called
something.war that is in it's own directory (yourdeploydir) and the structure
is the same as you would package into the war. Hot deploy should work fine,
just 'touch' the directory to re-deploy (as long as it doesn't try to
re-deploy half way through rebuilding).
Just add yourdeploydir to the "URLs" attribute in the deployment scanner
MBean.You'll find it in server/default/conf/jboss-server.xml
(I hope this is clear, it is simple to do)
