That one sound indeed Windows specific but that is not the general case.

If we talk about Java that is not official Oracle Java then a lot.

mainframe: IBM Java
AIX: IBM Java
i/OS: IBM Java
HP-UX: HP Java
OpenVMS: HP Java
Linux: OpenJDK, IBM Java, Azul Java

If we talk about Java that is not based on Oracle code base
then a lot less.

OpenJDK is the open source version of Oracle Java.

I believe that IBM and HP license source code from Oracle.

Azul is based on OpenJDK I believe.

But no matter what usage of those SUN classes is still not
as portable as Java should be.
