I came from a shop that was using 3.5 and to deploy, we just exported class files to a directory structure. Now I am in a 4.0 environment where I am the only person using Websphere and I am deploying the Ear files myself. Everything I read seems to say that if I change the code, I need to uninstall and reinstall the ear on the server for the changes to take effect. This is a huge pain and I need to restart the entire app server for one application change. Is this right or am I missing something. How does everyone else handle this?

Sorry, this is how the Sun spec says to package and deploy an application. Since WAS unjars the EAR to the installedApps directory, you could just copy the changed file to the proper subdirectory but I wouldn't recommend this in production. Switch to WAS 5 ND and life will get a whole lot easier.
