No, unless you want to write the application for Mac OS using the
Objective C port which is native for Mac OS. Each 'port' comes with
everything you need. When the text says 'platform-dependent' there, it
is telling you that there is a 'port' which is specific for Java, as
opposed to the one which is specific for C/GTK+ - both will run in
multiple OS/Hardware combinations, though.

So yeah, you'll have a .jar for each OS/Hardware combination, but your
code should be able to remain the same.

See you,
