You can make an installer that installs the JDK and the application. Make the application an exe by using something like Launch4j and for a Mac executable follow this tutorial by Oracle: Packaging a Java App for Distribution on a Mac and lastly: For Linux

Minecraft uses this method and as far as that i don't know any other way.

If you want to make portable application, "make once run anywhere" type app then I'd suggest trying out a different programming language like C# which also requires the .NET Runtime but is embedded in Windows systems whereas Java needs to be installed manually.
