Depending on what users have on their machines it may not work on their
machine. The bundled jar might ask for a version of Java runtime that
users does not have. There is no guarantee that every distribution comes
with java bundled either. For you it maybe works, for someone else it
might generate 1001 question and confusion when things don't work.
