You don't need to do anything special in Java.
Since its compiled to bytecode and run on the JVM as long as the machine has a supported JVM it will run. That said, avoid any proprietary commands like attempting to execute external applications and it will work fine.
I'd also favor the swing library over the awt for GUI needs. I seem to recall that the awt uses deep hooks into the os so I'm not certain how much that may cause you trouble. Best to keep it as light weight as possible.

Or is you're question about manipulating the JVM itself? I would assume this possible, even if you can only use assembly code, but at the same time, I can't see any applied purpose of altering the JVM.

no,i'm not going to manipulate the JVM.
Thanks for your explaination, i get it.:)
