It appears that platform.py in CPythonLib already has significant work done in it to make it work with java, ie it already imports java.lang.System in some places.  Rather than the approach in this version, which appears to take that and just replace some pieces with Java specific functionality, it'd be better to see something that could run in both CPython and Jython as it's already tending.  That way it can eventually be shared between the two codebases and we don't have to update our platform module whenever CPython's changes.  Also, if  you are going to copy from the CPython version, don't rip out the attribution and copyrights from the previous authors.
