I believe this is one of those scenarios where we're going to need a spec. WinGet doesn't have a native facility to ensure the right version of a Java runtime is present. There are also several licensing implications. It may be possible to have a package like a Java runtime specified as a dependency for a portable package, but the gap is really around which version of a Java runtime should be installed by WinGet as the "default". There are licensing concerns and other things to take into consideration.
While it might be possible to detect the presense or absense of a runtime, it is likely not going to make everyone happy if WinGet chooses a default JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to install.

I'd like to be able to use WinGet to install Java Archives as a portable package.
We've had some recent discussions surrounding Java Archives.
