What do you mean by this. Threads for Java work the same as threads for
C++.

You have your main program/process that controls many other sub-process.

If you have a multi-thread C or C++ app running like Apache, Bind or
etc. you will have many threads or process #'s.

Just the same as if you have say Tomcat running, you will also have the
same thing, multiple threads and processes.

I was speaking more of Java synchronization ability. You can declare a
function to be synchronized and when using it in a multi-thread app the
JVM will make sure things happen in order.   

Not to mention creation and control of threads are a little easier.

Now do all threads run under a single virtual machine. Yes. But that
virtual machine will allow you to create and manage threads.

Just as you would in C, C++ or any other language with threading
capabilities.
