Java is a virtual operating system that can be installed on top of other operating systems. As an OS, it's somewhat limited and specialized, but that's what the "Virtual Machine" in java is all about.
I wouldn't call Java an operating system, in the typical sense of the word.
I again refer you to the concept of the Java Virtual Machine.
You might want to read up on what the Java Virtual Machine and the concepts behind what an operating system is before you go any further.
