OK, Team A ship a sar file with X Y and Z as blocks.  Fred (an 
administrator type person) for a compant decides that he wants to deploy 
with Y2 instead of Y (a better implementation for his setup), he puts on 
his "re-assembler" hat and replaces the block (bar file) in the sar 
file, then deploys it as ususal.  "Assembler" was one of the original 
promises of the pluggable component design of Avalon..... it's juste 
never been discussed as a role.

How about an Ant task?

<zip-replace zip="abc123.sar">
      <zipfileset dir="our-impl-of-abc-thing" 
fullpath="SAR-INF/lib/abc.bar">
            <include name="our-abc.bar"/>
      </zipfileset>
</zip-replace>

GUIs are good, but suck for automation.
