The last JVM I know of that avoided native threads was Sun's 1.3 version running in "green threads" mode. Performance and stability were nothing to brag about. There are several "academic" JVMs kicking around with varying degrees of stability and compliance with the spec that might not use native threads. None are really appropriate for production use. I've only toyed with it, but Solaris 10, along with Postgres, is available for free download, ready to install and run on an x64/x86 system. Yet another learning curve... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
