I may have mis-spoke (could not re-read thanks to my antiprocrast) : I am thinking of a package format, probably more similar to .deb than .jar, that will drop the code I have written, plus the third party packages, plus the system level packages, ie all the dependancies that can get compiled)
The idea is to divide the Operating system from the application. There is never a good divide point but at some point we can say the chef/puppet/salt infrastructure will give us the operating system, and the big binary blob (.deb) will give us everything else.
Throw in configuration as a seperate function and I am going to have to lie down in a dark room.
