Hi,
My doubt is about the JVM, which is used to run a program. Is JVM platform dependant? are we using different JVM's for different OS? Please clarify.

JVM is platform dependent.
JVM for Windows and say Windows for Linux will be different. The JVM acts as an interface/layer between your code and the OS.
That is why your code becomes platform independent.
