on the "Would it be a good idea to make these components downloadable separately?"
This can be achieved quite easy, and automatically if you use JavaWebStart. You can specify which jars should be downloaded eager / lazy, and then when the user wants to use additional components, the jar files will be downloaded automatically. You have to be a bit careful to get the "lazy" download to work with JavaWebStart, but it is possible. I also think that it will be very nice to try to split the different "test methods (JDBC, HTTP, FTP, ...), as separate components. The JMeter is such a good tool, that it would be very nice to use it for testing other stuff than just web sites.
