Not to mention that the Sun EULA is trivially avoidable:

[kaboom@d1000 kaboom]$ ls j2*
j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[kaboom@d1000 kaboom]$ unzip -q j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin
warning [j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin]:  67192 extra bytes at beginning 
or within zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)
[kaboom@d1000 kaboom]$ ls j2*
j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.rpm  j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[kaboom@d1000 kaboom]$ 

Building it into the app (Netscape-style) is likely to be the only effective 
solution

later,
