The current thinking is that end users are not supposed to install Java - it will be bundled with every application. That kind of solves the problem, but I guess we'll have to forget about writing small utility programs in Java.
Also, complicating things a bit if you want a traditional shared Java installation, AdoptOpenJDK has apparently been refused a license for the test suite, making it not quite properly offical Java.

A tool suite intended for users will share the same runtime. And when it comes to small, user-oriented, standalone utilities, Graal's native image makes that more compelling than ever.
