Most likely you *will* have to distribute the JRE (unless you find a
compatible java-to-exe compiler?).
You might not need to *install* the JRE, though. Recent experiments here have
shown that merely *copying* an installed JRE directory to another system works, as
long as you're careful
with PATH and the like to make sure that the desired version of the JRE is
started.
I don't know if this is "official" but it works fine.
Starting java classes from an EXE is possible using JNI (the java native
interface), this is done for example by the "javaserv" utility, see
