This is not correct, a JVM is needed on the deployment machine. In 
general, Java is an interpreted
runtime. The hotspot compiler will speed up execution time but a JVM is 
still needed at runtime to
execute Java code. The Tcl Blend module makes it easy to create both a 
Tcl interpreter and a Java
interpreter in the same process and then let each interpreter talk to 
the other.
