JVM apps (at least if they are running in a container) aren't just portable across OS' (which is what I assume you meant), they are just plain portable.
In other words, I can tar up a Java appserver, copy it to another machine, untar it, and run it. No GAC, no registry, no caspol, no mysterious .dlls. It's all right there. Usually ;)
