You don't need admin rights to get a working JDK. The installers available from Oracle may need admin rights, but there's nothing stopping you from installing in on a personal machine, then just zipping up the files and copying them to another machine. You may need to set a JAVA_HOME environment variable - you can do this using a batch file when you start your Java and/or Groovy programs.
