I'm developing am embedded system with Ethernet, USB and

approach is to use java and deliver a compiled/compressed file
to a browser that provides that gui interface.

My question is are there alternatives to this approach that I
can use with either the USB or Serial interfaces?

Sure. Put a web server in your device. You can use either
a normal HTML interface, JavaScript, or Java.

What I'm trying to avoid is writing software that needs to be
installed on a users system.
