I understand that it does some packaging and compression, but does it (or could it) eliminate the need for an unknown enduser to have the JDK installed?[/QB]

The end user doesn't need to have the JDK installed, but they would need an appropriate JRE (
Java Runtime Environment - the thingy that understands the java bytecode)
Try this page for an explanation of
what you can do with the jar command.
