Answer 1

With all that automatic installations, beware of one thing:
It's up to the administrator of the machine to decide what VM he drives. Maybe there is a good reason for the admin NOT to drive the latest VM from Sun but a slightly older from IBM? It is not YOUR decision what VM runs on that machine.
Keep in mind that the JRE is a wrapper around the actual OS and as such it is not to be included with you app. Just think of it as if it would be an optional OS extension. You also do not deliver Oracle with you app if you just need ANY JDBC connection, do you?
With our customers we do it this way: We tell them that ANY Java 1.4 JRE is good to run our apps, but it is the customer's problem to get one, since we do not know the preferred VMs of that customer, nor could we provide a VM for every OS. For fairness reasons, we provide the latest Sun JRE for Windows, Solaris and LINUX with our app. But we do not start the installation of this.
