Chris,
As you say "(rightly or wrongly)" - though a compiled 'exe' is just as
risky. Java cannot be blamed for that sort of thing.
However, I have not dealt with paranoid end-users so I'll just leave it
with you there.
When you do get your answers, I would be interested in seeing them
also. That is, if they aren't already posted to the list.
Regards,
Brad.

Bradley and All --
Thank you for the lengthy response and pom. I would like to briefly respond
to your comment below:
-----------
Separately, I don't see any issue with an end-user having to install a
version of the JRE to run Java applications. In Windows, it is quite
easy, isn't it?
-----------
My own efforts at freeware target statistics teachers. Many school districts (rightly
or wrongly) have the idea that Java is a huge security risk, and any Java program is
immediately suspect. Also, many districts do not have the expertise to install FX.
Thus, bundling an app with a JRE slips in "under the radar." (Teachers
typically do not have admin privileges on their classroom computers, and I typically
offer the source code for inspection; however, many Districts are bereft of expertise in
that area also.)
