Java may have a great development platform, but it's not a great end-user platform. As a user, I'm never going to go to the Java App Store to shop for software

  You don't have to. They can push it to you with an update, and damn near everyone has it installed already. PR is hyperbole of course, but they do have a very large installed base, who are used to it being on their machines even if they're not sure what it does. The trick will be to invite users in such a way that it doesn't look like a browser popup.
