Some parts of the JZOS jar can be used off of the mainframe, although I do not believe that IBM offers official support on other platforms.
For example, the record generators, and com.ibm.jzos.fields runtime classes do work fine. The FileFactory class is designed to be agnostic as well, and RDWInput/OutputStream classes are also useful off the mainframe. I commonly download ADATA from Cobol/Assembler records and use the RecordGenerator and Fields classes to not only generate Java record classes, but also to run programs that consume mainframe data. SMF data for example. If you try to use z/OS system services wrappers like ZFile or ZUtil, you will get an UnsatisfiedLinkError exception when the class is loaded.
