I think this would be great, especially if we adapted the assembly

I like it. The size delta would be a minor issue, IMO.
I'd be in favor of this as a general approach. A few points:
1. I'd like to maintain two multi-personality distributions -- a
minimal and Java EE distribution.
2. IMO, the distributions must have a default configuration.
Downloading and starting a server must be simple (i.e. no selection/
configuration is required).
3. I would not want this to be the cause of a significant delay in
the 2.0 release
