No, it wouldn't require Java (thankfully).
The problem is the IO driver abstractions available on each platform are wildly different. Getting working filesystem driver code on Windows (7/8), Mac OS, and Linux is a non-trivial task that requires a lot of kernel mode hacking.
If you are willing to live with the performance impact, at least initially, you could use FUSE for MacOS/Linux. I don't recall if the Windows UMDF (User Mode Driver Framework) supports file system drivers or not.
