Most OS come without an a jour JVM.
If you deploy with on a cd, a recent jvm would be fine.
If deploying via the web, let the user choose - perhaps you may give him a link to the sun-download-page.
The JVM is too big to install it on guess. And soon some users might already have a more recent JVM, than yours.
Your application can be bundled as a jar-file, with a starting-script for windows (.bat). I don't know for macs. For Linux a .sh-starting script.
A webstart-application is an alternative way to go. It adresses more unexperienced endusers. I don't know details, but you will find more infos on the sun-site.
