Your projects do not have to be WTP projects, but you need to create a Server representing the 3.2.5 server - Ctrl+N, Server, JBoss AS 3.2. Then that server can stopped/started/debugged. Then right click your war/ear and say "Deploy to server" and it will be kept in sync with the server. You can also use the new packaging/archiving and let the module be built incrementally instead of requiring a full publish constantly.
