Distribution of Java Application

I am programming a functional Java/Jython game engine and I'd like it to be able to run on most any computer. Though a computers' Java may be up-to-date it will not recognize "java" as a command (batch).

I'm searching for a solution that results in no extra work for the consumer (downloading/installing JRE) and allows anyone to be able to run the game.

The computer I'm experimenting with 'does' possess JRE 7, however it doesn't recognize 'Java'.

You can ship the JRE with your application and use that JRE for your application. The effect is the same: The application will be started through an executable (wrapper needed) or script (batch) file and the target machine does not need to have a java runtime installed. Java doesn't have to be 'installed', it just has to be 'present'. Or You may also: Use Excelsior JET compiler for that purpose. See http://www.excelsior-usa.com/ for more information on this.

You can bundle your game with JRE in your installer.
