JARs are fine until you need to get someone to install a JRE. Not a problem for server apps, but definitely not painless for client distributed apps.

You can bundle everything together, or use a commercial JDK with AOT compilation support.
Neither of those options are "painless".
Is it? Often you would distribute an installer anyway, right?
