Having developed/worked with several java apps that run on z/OS, I can tell you that all the porting problems will revolve around the fact that the JVM native encoding is Cp1047. That is a EBCIDIC code page.
Many java apps make an assumption that the native encoding is an ASCII based code page. Example: I had to patch the jCVS libs to work on the z/OS because they just used a standard PrintStream to talk the the CVS server over the network. They assumed that the native encoding would match the server, which on z/OS it does not. The fix was to construct the PrintStream with the encoding set to UTF-8.
