     Slight digression: By "without any local JVM" I guess you mean the
JVM (or a required subset) is delivered along with the application.  Is
this safe?  How do I know I'm not being handed an unpatched, out-of-date
JVM?  How do I know I'm not being handed a *hacked* JVM?

     Way back when, it was supposed to be safe to download and run Java
code: The JVM that you yourself had installed to run it would police
the safety of the downloaded code.  The scheme was less than perfectly
air-tight (ahem), but may have been slightly more secure than just
downloading and running a random executable.  Are you saying that the
latter is now Oracle's preferred modus operandi?
