The problem with many of these Java apps is that they are only available 
as Windows binary installers.  Even if the wontInstallShield is one of 
their "java" installers, they still end up being OS-specific.  Sometimes 
they have a binary "wrapper" to load the application.  And I've seen way 
too many occasions where the app brings along yet **another** JVM 
specific to the app, somply because the app programmers wrote to the 
quirks of a particular version, and it may never even run under a later 
version running natively on the same OS (or at least the don't think it 
will...)
