A "platform" is whatever environment in which Java is running. This includes operating systems. A Java source file on compilation produces an intermediary .class rather than a executable file. This .class file is interpreted by the JVM. Since JVM acts as an intermediary layer.
A platform-independent application is a user or system application that does not have any components in the code that require it to be dependent on any given platform (or operating system).

It is software that can run on different kinds of computers and operating systems. It is not tied to having to be run on only one kind of computer or operating system. So it is independent of platforms, not restricted to one.
The operating system is immaterial. It is the languages used that are important. If you are targeting a specific platform then it obviously makes sense to develop upon that platform, but for cross-platform programming it really makes no difference what operating system you use.
Platform means the hardware and software the computer is using. It is also called "the operating system" or "OS".
