as the others already said, it will most likely work. Id suggest you read some info on the Java Virtual Machine as this wonderful virtual device allows running java byte code on (nearly) any machine...

In general, It should. Mind it that class file don't run by themselves, you need to have java installed on the machine. It should also be compatible version.

Yes, it should.

However, watch out for the most common pitfalls like:

  • version incompatibility (e.g. class file version, runtime environment)
  • system dependent resource descriptors (e.g. file paths)

Yes, 99.9% of the time this is the case. There are some hiccups with non-Sun (read, IBM) JVMs that aren't perfectly cross-platform compatible.

Yes, java byte code (class files) is platform independent.

Yes, that is specifically the premise behind Java's Write Once Run Anywhere motto
