Mickael,
Your hard working committer reps (Dani and I) are actively involved in
the discussions around being able to ship a bundled JRE along with
select EPP's packages and in Oomph's installer.
You can follow the details in the minutes:
https://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/minutes.php
In particular, in June this was approved:
https://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/boardminutes/2018_06_11-12_Minutes.pdf
But as the notes suggest, the vote was subsequently voided due to lack
of notice on the topic prior to the June meeting, with more details
about that in July:
https://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/boardminutes/2018_07_18_Minutes.pdf
Since July, it was further discussed in the IP Advisory committee (which
I attend, though not as regularly as I should; lots of discussions
around spec processes for Jakarata enablement among lots of lawyers) and
at the face-to-face October board meeting; those those minutes are not
linked yet.
You can see the players involved and you can imagine that behind those
players are large legal organizations that tend to move slowly and to be
highly conservative. I feel the trend is now in the right direction
again to get this on track eventually... But I wouldn't start holding
my breath just yet!
Regards,
Ed

By the way, I'd like to use this as an opportunity to remind that
(according to our experience with Corrosion/Rust EPP) some EPP
packages really fail at reaching their full audience because of
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506244 . I can't wait to
read some news from the Board or EMO about it...
Basically, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=506244 is
also involved in the removal of aCute from SimRel: if including a JRE
in EPP were approved (like it seems to be for Docker-based
deliveries), then we may have seen more interest in aCute shipped as
EPP and aCute would have been forced to remain in SimRel.
