You might also want to think about deployment. In what form, through 
which medium, automated or not etc...

For windows, Java WebStart is pretty OK (app icon, file association, 
easy installation of app, more or less easy JRE update). On other 
systems (Mac/Linux) this lags behind a bit (ie. no clean file 
association on Mac/Linux, JRE update doesn't work at all on Mac so you 
have to target a specific JRE/MacOS combination etc).
