Here is how Java works. Java classes are cross platform. You can written once and run everywhere. But Java Virtual Machine is platform dependent. Java classes interact with the Java Virtual Machine(JVM). JVM is like a mini operating system. If you see that you have to choose operating system for Java appliation, It is because they bundle the java classes with the JVM which are platform sensitive. I went to some Java show recently, and tell you the truth, I did not find many good Java applications. Seems to me that most talented programmers are still reluctant to write in Java. I do find a few decent Java programs. One is Castnet from Marimba, their interface is pretty cool. Another is IQSuite, which is a stock analysis program. I think you can download from their web site (www.iqc.com).
