As showed at cocoon-gt, I have a IzPack based installer that already delivers a cocoon dist, with a small gui with three buttons (start server, stop server, open welcome page) that start and stop an embedded jetty loading the dist .war file.
Also other apache projects are starting to use it to deliver demo or final binary builds, like apacheds for example. It's a matter of a couple of hours to commit it and have it deliver the samples-dist. Can't think of anything simpler than this and doable in a short time ATM. The only drawback I see is that WAR file of a complete cocoon dist is very big, but we can clearly specify that this happens only because it's a binary complete build quick and easy to setup, and that once they will start working with maven etc.. they will not have to do those big massive download, cause maven will take care of downloading only the needed jars and only once. Let me know if you think this could ease users to test the 2.2, I can do it in the weekend. Simone
