I don't know the answer to all your questions, but here is some info for

We have seen differences in some the classes that are put in the boot jar
by default. One thing I can remember had to do with native methods in some
swing/awt classes. If I recall correctly, it was mac OSX that had
different signatures than linux or windows for example.

The JDK version and vendor are also critically important, even down to the
minor revision. Rather than leave the potential for VM crashes, we insist
that the boot jar was created from compatible runtime classes.

If you were to diff the boot jars between windows and linux you probably
won't find any differences in the class files. The manifest will be
different though.
