As a matter of fact i already took a step in that direction with a project 
called EWAD (see sourceforge):
"The mission of Ewad is to provide an out-of-the-box, fully-featured 
application development environment for the open-source java / web developer. 
After running the installation script you have a ready to use development 
environment featuring: Eclipse, Mysql, Database authoring, Tomcat, Jetty, 
Tapestry, Spindle, Palette and others. No configuration at all! "

+ my ClipBoard component is currently being brewed and almost ready for release 
in Tassel. If they want it!

But on the other hand: you should not throw this argument when someone 
complains about the lack of components. I complain, other just choose an 
alternative eg .net.  The components should be there, this one of the major 
responsibilities of a web application development framework selling itself as 
being component oriented.

Kind regards
