Platform independence is nothing but the ability to run a software in different operating systems. Portability deals with the hardware and the operating system architecture. The created exe file can be run on any platform. This is portability. In case of java, the .class file formed in windows os can be run on linux without making any changes. Because it doesnot depend upon the hardware or OS architecture. This is platform independence.
