No, I think he wanted an IDE that would read his mind - just kidding!! Rob was wanting a web application framework that allows you to add functionality/decorations via extension points described by a 'drag 'n drop' plugin. I know of no such animal (right now), but I think we may be headed that way...sort of.

James, I got the impression from the original post that he was asking about some kind of IDE that allows you to specify web application behaviour and then have a WAR or EAR file magically created with no thought necessary to how it was generated. This is truely a cool idea, but I can think of nothing that does that today.
