Now onto the build problems.
First - the lams-www.war not deploying:
> BUILD FAILED
> C:\lams\lams_build\build.xml:188: Failed to copy
>C:\lams\lams_build\assembly\lams.ear\lams-www.war\404.jsp to C:\program
> files\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\lams.ear\lams-www.war\404.jsp due to
>C:\program files\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\lams.ear\lams-www.war\404.jsp
>(The system cannot find the path specified)
This one has me pretty stumped. My guess is that the file copy is being done but windows is reporting a general error to ANT and we are getting a misleading error message.
I have attached an image builddirectory.jpg. It shows what the assembly directory (under lams_build) should look like after a build has run. The thing is, if the assembly directory wasn't right, then I don't know why the build would be trying to copy the file. We don't specify the 404.jsp file specifically - the ant command just says to copy the whole lams-www.war directory!
Could the files in C:\program files\jboss-4.0.2\server\default\deploy\lams.ear\lams-www.war\ be read only? Could you try doing the copy manually in Windows Explorer and see what the error is that Windows gives you?
Second - your tool not deploying:
First up, check you did deploy-tool and not deploy-war. Deploy-war builds and copies the files to the JBOSS directory but it doesn't do any of the database or configuration file updates that tell LAMS about your tool. So although it will be sitting in the JBOSS directory, LAMS will ignore it completely.
Can you run the tool deployment again and post me the output from the console. It should be something like:

Finally, about your tool icon. You will probably have realised by now that you will need an icon for authoring. Initially just reuse one of ours or live with the "missing" icon. At present our advice on the tool icon (on the wiki) is that it has to be a swf or a jpeg. A swf is better as it will scale. I've asked our Flash developer to give me some more detailed guidelines (programs that produce swfs, preferred size of jpeg, etc). I'll post the details later this week.
