I think it's a very good idea. I'd like to use a distribution like that in the university. I'm studing software development (Programación in spanish), and in the university, we use eclipse, jboss tools, hibernate, and tomcat, also firebird database (sucks!) and flamerobin, but I don't know if we can use OpenJDK, for example. I think that the distribution can be used in all the universities in Argentina where my career is given, because Java is the develpment lenguage that is teached.
