Windows, Linux - it does not require additional native tools installed. The API underneath is well abstracted can easily be adopted for other areas as well.

Check the documentation on how to use it with maven or ant. Current javadocs and a source xref is also available.

The jars are available on maven central. The source releases you can get in the download section.
