Ideally I would like Apache to make some policy changes. But now I
also have a way to do what I believe it's best for the users and the
end product regardless of what Apache decides.

InnoSetup is good enough for a Windows installer. I guess it's
possible to download the JDK as part of the installation but what I
care most is how to update the bundled JDK! I have an idea here but
need time to experiment.
