You can package a Java application as a Linux RPM for easy installation on many Linux installations (RedHat?, Mandrake, etc.).
http://jpackage.org/ attempts to define some RPMs for commonly used Java packages.
SunMicrosystems' Java SE SDK is available in a binary-only RPM format for Linux.
Ant has a task to build RPMs.
The Operating System Distributor License for Java (DLJ) offers any operating system distributor to repackage and redistribute the binary JDK bits in a form suitable for their operating system.

Edited David Herron to add info on the DLJ project.
