Someone has mentioned that in order to be able to use the open source

it possible to simply include the open source Java runtime in our
packaging, which is a commercial product? For our situation, we are
not modifying any part of the open source code but using it to
generate byte code from our code base. We also would need to
distribute the Java JRE of the open source project with our code in
order to run the application.
Link to GPLv2 I have found.

No. That is simply not true, and has never been true of any Java-related
licensing model. Your application does not have to be released under an
open source license to run on top the JRE or to use the Java compiler.
