My apologies, I was mistaken. The final release from Sun does have green
threads support. In fact the readme claims that only green threads are
supported. The native-threads libraries are included, however I get:

rivendell ~ > /usr/local/java/bin/java -native -version
Warning: native threads are not supported in this release
Bad system call 

Also, running AWT stuff gives me the same results as the last RC - the
Java process just eats CPU (ps always lists it as R+) and displays
nothing. This is under 3.3.
