We can't distribute javafx runtime without application because of
legal issues. Only Sun/Oracle is suppose to distribute them.

We bundle everything in a installer, and distribute the installer.

That is another point I wanted to make. We do not want to put
application data on user.home. That will make the system vulnarable of
getting deleted by the user. Normally user knows that he is not
suppose to delete anything from "program files" or "/usr/lib". But
user can can delete anything from his home folder. We can put user
preference data on user folder, but not application data on user home
folder.
