You could use jnlp files. You can find example how it works in Swing Documentation. At this page, you can see Launch button - this is it. You have to google how to create this kind of file, but I am sure you can do it with e.g. some Maven plugin.

You can create exe file, but this is only for Windows. Or create runnable jar file, this is good for Windows and Linux but you have to run it using installed java from JRE (this is not exactly like just download file, install and run it using an icon).
