Yes[1], export is controlled. Oracle Java contains an implementation of cryptographic primitives, similar in scope and purpose to OpenSSL.

Microsoft does not sell products to any sanctioned countries[2].

Note that [1] has a giant loophole for open source software, which requires notice but not permission - so builds of .NET Core, OpenJDK, OpenSSL itself, and so on, can be exported no problem. Also, programs built WITH the primitives are "mass market", so are exemptable that way.
