There is some room for "hair-splitting" here, and perhaps you don't need to discard "out-of-the-box" JBoss compatibility straight away.2 out of the box build with tomcat 4.x (please propose me a version) ideal would be latest (this would be useful to my personal project)
3 out of the box build with jboss (project www.jbpm.org has one and it's really nice) (this would be useful to my personal project)
With some fairly straightforward ant scripts, you could have the user indicate where they've installed JBoss in a properties file, then "build" into that folder. Likewise with Tomcat.
To push the envelope somewhat, the ant script could go the extra step of explicitly downloading the Tomcat or JBoss build in question to a directory controlled by the build file.
I've used both of these techniques on internal company projects, and it has made my work significantly easier.
I mention these possibilities, if only because the original request indicated the desire not for an "out-of-the-box" *binary*, but rather an "out-of-the-box" *build*.
Just a thought to help push adoption.
