TowerJ is an exception. I guess they are implementing their own green threads
model? I'd be interested to find out more about that.
IBM and Sun are the leading JVM vendors out there, especially when you include
the VM implementations of all others who have licensed the Sun source code and
produced production implementations for their platforms, e.g., HP, Compaq, SGI,
etc. Anyone shipping a Sun-based production JVM (including IBM) is using a
native threads model by default, except Sun themselves in the case of Linux
(which is supposed to change in 1.3 or 1.4).
