We don't have to argue about native vs. green threads since the
Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 release does both.
I understand why people need native threads, but I need green threads on
Linux for handling a large number of dedicated connections to a pure
Java server (see
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4075058.html).
The alternative with native-thread-only implementations on Linux, like
the one from IBM, is to rebuild the kernel and LinuxThreads library --
not fun (see "Linux 2.2 kernel file descriptors and tasks" and
"LinuxThreads 0.7 limits" at http://www.volano.com/linux.html).
I assume the Inprise Java VM will soon do both green and native threads
as well.
