What "Java portability" ????

Java is not a portable language.  Java is less portable than both
FORTRAN, C or C++, which runs on several platforms.  Java runs on one
single platform only: the Java platform.

The Java platform doesn't exist in hardware - it must be simulated
in software.  "But that means Java is portable: I can run my JVM on
several other platforms" -- true, but if you define "portability" in
such a way, then all Windows software becomes equally portable: just
start your favourite Windows emulator on either your Mac or your Linux
machine, and run your Windows software on it....
