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.)
