Does "only" have any sense in this context? JVMTI agent is piece of native code, so you have possibility to start any kind of native thread (pthread or win32). "However, the created thread does require a newly created instance of java.lang.Thread (referenced by the argument thread) to which it will be associated" is the next sentence after sentence with "can" ;). That mean that the difference between new created thread via OS thread library and jvmtiRunAgentThread is in readiness to work with java world from the beginning.
