Are there tools for easily creating installers from jars for various
platforms?

JWS*.

..Ideally, the installers would be native and would check
whether jvm is installed and do something user-friendly if it's not.

deployJava.js*.

* if it has a GUI.

I was talking about Java applications that seem native to the user
(during installation) with no relation to the browser, i.e. *.msi for
Windows users, *dmg (or whatever) for Mac users, *.tar.gz, *rpm and
*.deb for Linux users.

It would seem that the work that needs to be done packaging a pure
Java application into these does not depend on the particular Java
application very much, except for minor configuration details. So I
expected this processes to have been streamlined already.
