IntelliJ or maven can at least create a fat runnable jar that includes all dependencies. So once you have a JVM on the target machine that jar is all you need to deploy. But I agree with you that an entirely static compilation target that includes the JVM and excludes everything that isn't necessary would be very desirable.
