Definitely - once the JRE is ported to the platform of interest.  But down in 
the guts of the JRE, there is a fair amount of platform-specific code, some 
written in C++, some C, and some in Java.  This is unfortunately necessary due 
to the differing APIs and functional semantics of the various platforms; 
consequently, different platforms may have different bugs.  (Or problems on 
just different CPU chips, such as the recent errors seen in certain String 
methods when run on Intel CPUs with SSE 4.2 instructions enabled.)
