I am finding that Ada is actually more portable than Java.

just go to http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com

see all the Java stuff to download. most run on windoz only.
and this is by IBM itself, who is the biggest supporter for
Java these days.

example:

http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/cfparse

You'll see the platform is windoz. but it is written in Java.

I've worked on a place where coding was done in Java, but
we all were required to only use windows for development,
since the application was supposed to run on windows only, even
though we used only Java code. 

Java portability is a big spam. Ada is much much more portable
than Java will ever be.
