This is correct only for Green Threads, which is a user-space threading library for the Classic VM. Few people use Green Threads in the recent days. Additionally, even old java commands using Green Threads provided -tss option. When the option is given, threads are scheduled in a time-slicing fashion. I guess even user-space threads can implement time-slicing with kinds of signal and alarm(2). But, I'm not sure the -tss option could work well ever on Linux.
