The operating system should have no effect when creating a DateTime in this manner. The only factor that matters is the time zone information stored in the joda-time jar file.
As such, there should be no difference between running the same jar file on two different systems in this way. (The operating system affects what the current time is, but not when creating using field values like this.)
