I know that. I did read many articles about it.

 From user-point-of-view, no JRE is needed pre-installed
at user platform. Just click and run. all is packeged into
one 'file'. Process name is the app, not Java.exe, and many
more.

Hence it works, feels, behaves if one just downloaded
a .exe (i.e.as native app would). User would care-less
that is inside.

Even better, no dependency on shared libraries outside of
the .exe that might needs setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH since
all is bundled).

What is that say: if it sounds like a duck, runs like duck, etc...
... then it must be a duck?
