A:
Try this one, or just install one of the Amazon base Fedora 8 AMIs, install the stack yourself and create your own custom AMI (more flexible).

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I suggest going with well-known providers of AMI images. To me, it's worth putting in the effort of installing the software you need on a trustworthy system. I'm not saying there are trojan horses and server-side-spyware all over the place, but think about it: why do you have to install from media after a break-in? Because even if things seem fine, you can never be sure if you can trust your system. Like The Oracle says, "know thyself."
These days, I have been enjoying the Ubuntu 8.10 server image (just search for AMIs with the string "canonical"). If you add the universe repo then there is a Sun Java5 package as well as Apache httpd of course. I'm not sure about JBoss, sorry.
