Yes via the JVM. That's the big selling point of Java anyway.

Yes. But it's important to write it THAT way because you can also write your code to NOT run on some operating systems. For example: When providing a path, if you use backslash to separate folders, the code works only on Windows. You should use "File.separator" in that case, to run the code on any OS.

yes if there is Java VM (virtual machine) implemented on that OS. There can be problems with GUI, how to do it as OS independent.
