Sure, you have to test it carefully as you probably want to provide a way
for the user to run the app without invoking the JDk manually. You'll have
to write a shell script for that.

If you copy on the CD the installed version of the JDK/JRE and you set the
PATH correctly you can run it directly. Let's say you have the jdk in a dir
called lxjdk on the CD and the CD is mounted on /mnt/cdrom (default on RH).
You'll need to add /mnt/cdrom/lxjdk/bin to the PATH. of course you need to
find the correcte path (use pwd in the shell script) because the mount point
for the CD could be different. For example I use to remap mine to /cdrom.

Just install it on a machine and then copy the tree in the CD.

Under Unix temporary files are written to /tmp, usually mounted on a HD
partition, not the current directory so that shouldn't be a problem anyway.
I'm not aware of temp files created byt the VM.

Yes. Just download the JRE archive.
