Is it possible to execute a JAR file on any OS (like Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)? I want to build a simple application that I want to run on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. Could the JAR file be run on any OS with java installed?

Spring Boot can take your application code, combine it with an embedded JEE Application Server (like Tomcat, which you never even see), and package it all up together into an executable JAR file. This JAR file will run anywhere there's a compatible JVM.
Yes, JAR files and their contents are fully platform independent.
Steps to run a JAR file on Windows, Mac or Linux. To run a JAR file on Windows, Mac or Ubuntu machines, follow these steps: Verify that Java is installed on your computer. Confirm the computer's PATH variable includes Java's \bin directory.
Your Android device can run Java games and apps, but it isn't designed to do so, and hence you don't find any Java emulators on the Play Store to run jar files on Android devices.
The Jar files run on any OS for which a JVM exists.
