I copy my classes directly in the filesystem under WEB-INF/classes.
I don't use JARs and I don't upload classes into the VFS.

I have a small shell script that will copy all files from my eclipse
build path into the opencms classes-folder and that triggers a http
request to the URL-based tomcat manager to reload the opencms servlet
app. If you do it very often, you may have to restart Tomcat completely
every once in a while, but it works pretty well for me.
My script just looks like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    cp -vr ~/eclipse-workspace//buildpath/*
/opt/tomcat/webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/classes/
    wget -t99 --spider
http://admin:@127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html/reload?path=/opencms&
   
If you are using windows, you can use  "xcopy /S /Y" instead of "cp -vr"
For wget there are also pre-compiled binaries windows, if you search a
bit on the net. Or if you don't want to mess with wget, you can restart
tomcat completely instead

My JSPs I code inside of opencms. Not comfortable, but direct
