You can already ship an RCP with an embedded JRE, by placing the runtime in a subdirectory called 'jre'. It shouldn't be too hard to modify e.g. customTargets.xml to perform the copying for you if you wanted to, and had a suitable JRE to hand.

There's documentation about the layout at <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/product_config_install.htm";>, and you can also put a -vm in the eclipse.ini file or put it on the command line if you want.

Incidentally, <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/";>harmony</a> has been used to run Eclipse already :-)
