Not unless one has the API ported to the other platforms. Even during compilation Java requires that class references be satisfied, and of course those libraries must be present to run the code.

One assumes you mean Java SE, and further, a current version thereof. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
