Linux vs. Windows Only Availability

Most bridges are written Java and can therefore run on both Windows and Linux platforms where a Java RunTime Environment (JRE) is available. However, a significant amount bridges are written in C++ compiled only for Windows, especially when they depend on Windows only COM API, such as:

Erwin Data Modeler binary native file formats (Windows only COM API).
SAP Business Objects Universe Designer (Windows only COM API).
Microstrategy Intelligence Server (Windows only COM API).

The bridges running only on Windows are annotated with a Windows icon on the published supported tools at: Supported Tools.
