I think best practice these days is to embed the JRE with the Java app into a Mac OS X application package:

This avoids problems with different Java runtime versions (at the cost of a little bit of disk space).

Any chance ISC could do this?

This might be of help as well:

Just to add, I would be happy to look at sorting this out for ISC (and sign the resulting package correctly so it will work with GateKeeper). My rates are very reasonable!
