Java Web Start.  Use the recently developed
'deployJava.js' for versioning from within an
installer 'web page' (on or offline), then
install/launch the app. using Java Web Start
(which can do fine grained versioning).

Or the way Knute suggested, but that would
involve cross-compilation options, and doing
something useful once 1.3 is detected..
