And welcome to how Java apps on OSX will be distributed in the near
future. Discussions are afoot on the Mac OSX port list for just this, as
well as the system JDK install, there'll be a way for applications to
bundle their own JDK. Which will be the preferred way. This will,
AFAIK allow OSX to sandbox an application completely - and also make it
available in the app store.
In any case Apple just released another Java update that automatically
disables applet from being executed:
"This Java security update removes the most common variants of the
Flashback malware," Apple wrote in the support document for the update.
"This update also configures the Java web plug-in to disable the automatic
execution of Java applets. Users may re-enable automatic execution of Java
applets using the Java Preferences application. If the Java web plug-in
detects that no applets have been run for an extended period of time it
will again disable Java applets."

I suppose this will make a small-but-not-zero number of Java developers
angry.
