Not really - you could use jspc to compile your JSPs into servlets
and then compile the servlets before install time (like at installer build
time). Then you would only need to distribute the JRE. This would also
give you a runtime speed up and still allow developers to use JSP
technology.
This all assumes that you application doesn't require the users to
compile their own JSPs.
Another option, as was pointed out, is to use Jikes. I am unsure of
its distribution regulations, so you will need to investigate this.
