Java
I found a couple of scripts that will detect what version of Java the user is running, and one will try to send the user to Java's website. I was wondering if it is possible (or if anyone knows of any scripts) where I can bundle a specific version of Java with the installation to where if the user doesn't have a new enough version, I can prompt them to install the bundled Java version, instead of making them try to download load it.

You could include it with File and execute it the same way it's done in those other scripts, but I'd recommend aganist it if your installer is meant to be downloaded over the Internet.

If you're distributing on a CD or similar hard-copy media, you can also opt to just put the Java installer directly on the disk and launch it like those other scripts do.

You can use the smaller installation, as explained in the following thread:
