Hi

What is the current popular way of deploying a Java application on different
platforms? The first thing that comes to mind is an executable Jar.

A Java web service is also another option.
But that requires a Web server and persistent internet connection.
Thats a costly overhead.

It depends on what your application does. If it is an application that
gets started/stopped by the user an executable JAR file works fine. If
people have Java correctly installed it will be clickable.

If you want to be able to remotely manage your applications
(update/install/uninstall) when deployed, you might want to take a look
at the OSGi service platform. This platform is used as the foundation
of Eclipse and is becoming popular in Apache as well as many commercial
applications. When you want to know more:
