I have two questions, this could go into different directions based on opinion, but as of right now I am writing a Java/Kotlin API. So far it is compatible across all platforms, excluding IOS(have not tested).

A few of the tasks it runs is python using PY4J but the way the API calls the python script to start the PY4J connection is 

 Runtime.getRuntime().exec("python script.py") # Is there a better way to do this?

Which is fine until it comes to Android. Will Android be able to use this method? If so, the question is answered and finished there.

If not, is there a way to embed a python interpreter into a JAR file? Java project? I like Jython, but I could not get NLTK to work with it.

1) Is there a way to make Jython work with NLTK : If not,

2) Is there a way to use PY4J in Python?

3) Is there a way to embed a custom Python interpreter in Java/JAR?

Feel free to edit my question, code and title. I don't do this much, so it is probably sloppy.

This was silly, but I will keep it up since this was a real question. You can install python3 directly into the JAR. When the python installation screen shows up you can just install it into a folder inside your Java project.

For the Android part, there is a python package called p4a, python-for-android. You can create a python interpreter with dependencies. This should work.
