Swing question: Supported platforms (newbie)

[Richard]

Experience: Clueless newbie

I'm not having much luck deciphering the 'supported platform' and
'system requirements' pages on the Sun site regarding running Swing
apps.

I'm trying to figure out where I'll be able to run a Swing app, and
what's got to be installed on the machine in order to run it.

It'd be nice to run it on everything from Mac Classic and Win95 on up
to current OSes, but from what I've read so far I've got better odds
of winning the lottery than getting that to work.

Anyway, a clear description or a link to one greatly appreciated.

Swing is supported by a JDK (version 1.2, I think). As long as that JDK
or above will run on Win 9X/NT/2000/2003, Mac OS 9/X, *NIX, AS400,
etc... your Swing code will be portable.

How will Swing run on an AS400?
