Hi,

I think you already have your answer: "threads not available"

If, for some reason, Sun's Java tools are unacceptable to you, you'll have 
to hook up with people of like mind who are working on GCJ and / or Cygwin 
support for the necessary thread functionality in order to accelerate 
progress towards the capabilities you want.

However, I fear you will, for the foreseeable future, remain behind the 
pack in terms of performance and functionality by sticking to a 3rd-party 
Java runtime (JVM), especially on Java's primary deployment platform. (You 
know--that big fat OS from that big fat company in Redmond, WA.)

P.S. As always, use of your shift key is strongly encouraged.
