make JVM apps standalone #20
Description
Use JPackage and associated tools to package an optimized JVM with the various Java applications that we distribute so that users can run them without having to install Java, and so that we can develop them without having to restrict ourselves to any particular Java version.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to package several JVM apps together and re-use the pieces they have in common. I'm only thinking of this because the size of the download might become large, though; I'm not actually sure it would be necessary, since compression may eliminate the duplication for the download step anyway, and the extra required space is not likely to be an issue for computers these days.
