Will it look and feel the same way like running on windows?

no. obviously, not ALL java obviously will run on DOS and they won't all look and feel the same way as windows. With DOS, the maximum amount of memory that could be used was incredibly small(640 KB) compared to(4 GB) today. So a java program running in memory would be very "cramped". None of the stuff that requires a GUI work, since DOS was made before anyone thought of making GUIs...

Please don't confuse DOS (the disk operating system) with the command console in 32-bit Windows and later (Win95, NT, 2000, XP, etc.). They have similar commands, but are NOT the same!
Currently, there are no Java Standard Edition JVMs for DOS. There are some custom VMs with subsets of the core libraries (e.g. Waba for DOS: http://www.thisiscool.com/doswaba.htm). So if you are talking about "look and feel" as in Swing or AWT, then the answer is NO, since without an underlying windowing graphics system, there is no way to support the AWT and Swing libraries. In other words, you need at least a Java Standard Edition JVM built to run on Windows in order to get the Windows Look and Feel (applies to both AWT and Swing).

Java is noted as "platform autonomous" using fact the comparable Java code can run on any platform the place a JVM is accessible. The underlying hardware and working device don't remember; the comparable Java code works everywhere. it incredibly is not genuine of a language like C, the place you are able to desire to collect distinctive executables for various systems. the reality which you do no longer know what a be conscious capacity and have not stricken attempting to determine it out on your individual would not make it "nonsense". No offense, in spite of the indisputable fact that it incredibly is advisable to evaluate utilising the version of Yahoo!solutions it is on your community language. you will in all probability locate it much less complicated to get your suggestions throughout the time of, and for this reason you will in all probability get extra functional solutions.

I'm not a big JAVA expert, but in my uneducated opinion the answer is yes and no...
yes because JAVA is indeed platform independent, and should run similarly anywhere...
however, there is a requirement for this to happen, and that is that there is a JAVA runtime for the platform upon which your program runs. as far as I know, there is no JAVA virtual machine for DOS, so the answer is no, it will not run as it does on windows.
Think of JAVA as a mini-operating system that translates the JAVA code into Windows code on a windows machine, or into MacOS code on a Mac machine, or Linux code on a Linux machine, and so forth. It's like a translator that sits between your platform independent code and the system on which you want it to run.
i hope that's helpful.. hell I hope it's correct :D

Yes why not we often run java program on Dos.
Syppose you compiled a java program on DOS after giving the following command like
javac first.java
then the compiler of java create byte code that will be run on any OS like DOS too.

Java is independent , but i don't think it can run on DOS as a applet or something.
