You have a point.

Two questions:
Which exception does it throw? guess: IllegalStateException()
Can we change the name?
We already have an ExceptionUtil in org.apache.avalon.framework.ExceptionUtil.
I would prefer adding a couple signatures:
/** two member version will set the first variable if not set, or throw exception */
ExceptionUtil.check(this.manager, manager, "Manager already set");
/** one member version used for state checking */
ExceptionUtil.check(this.isInitialized, "Component not initialized");
