You won't be able to submit such app to Windows 8 Store, Chrome Web Store, iOS App Store, Android Market and you will very likely run into problems when submitting it to Mac App Store because of process sandboxing and restrictions on private APIs.
Users will be pissed off because your app starts slowly, does not integrate well with system services and takes a lot of disk space.
I would just use native code for implementation of platform-specific features (e.g. filesystem access,
window management, dock icon, settings manager), everything else could be done inside WebView. This way you can cover all possible platforms including regular web browsers.

- jarek-foksa 14y agoWebView-based apps might look a bit crappy compared to fully native apps, but the ultimate goal is to make as many consumers as possible buy your product. Depending on JRE is defenitely not going to help you reach that goal.
