I guess it's not so easy :-)
I haven't tried this library, but it claims to offer a pthreads API. So this might work for retrofitting an application (such as the JVM) that uses pthreads: LD_PRELOAD=<path_to_pth_library> <...command line...> For example: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libpth.so.1.4.1 java ... This is conjecture - I haven't tried it! It might not work, and there might be some intricate libc dependency problems on your system. But it's what I would try if I were to try it :-).
