Not necessarily, sometimes there are some little difference between Windows and Macs(and *nix) that makes part of an application not work correctly(like trying to create a file in the /tmp folder... but such folder does not exist in windows normally). But the application will start regardless of the platform... as long as you have a Java Virtual Machine installed.(might aggain have some bugs if this application uses libraries from 1.6 but you have 1.5 installed but usually the binaries[read .jar or .class] don't need to be compiled for each platform).
ah the joys of Java... cross-platform but still requires a bit of coding to make things work in all platforms.
now back to work for me... Stupid last exam...
