On the PC and Linux, the game is distributed as a standalone, complete executable and will not require an external VM. It is installed with a typical installer and launched from the Start menu or desktop. The normal game player will not be aware or need to know about the use of Java or a particular JVM. On the Mac, the game is installed using a typical installer and launched from the Applications folder like any other Mac application. You must have Java 5 installed. You probably already have this as it is pre-installed in the latest version of Mac OS X or is available through software update.
