Could you give some specific examples about what needs to be improved
here?
I agree that being given a .jar file is not quite as user-friendly as
some people might expect but it really isn't that bad:
java -jar coldfusion-j2ee-java.jar
(run through the GUI installer which dumps a CFMXJ2ee folder somewhere)
In JMC (JRun Management Console), Create New Server (e.g., cfmx).
Then:
cd /Applications/JRun4/servers/cfmx
jar xvf <path/to>/CFMXJ2ee/cfusion.war
Are you suggesting make all of this go away? Doing the manual install
is pretty flexible and that's what many Unix folks would expect...
