Java is the world's popular software development platform that James Gosling develops. It is designed to support multiple platforms like Linux, macOS and Windows. Mobile and Desktop applications can also be developed using Java language.
I recommend you to have a look at IzPack. IzPack is a one-stop solution for packaging, distributing and deploying applications.
It is fully cross-platform and generates a single installer. As such, it is an alternative to native solutions such as platform-specific installers and package managers.
There are many other alternatives, but IMO IzPack is as good as they get and is completely free. If your app targets only Unix/Linux hosts you might consider creating native packages like RPM, DEB, etc...
