Java Thread Priority Question

I RTFM'ed, I Googled, I experimented, and I still don't have a definitive answer.

Mark Volkmann asked a simple question on our internal Java mailing list: Are Java Thread priorities being ignored on the Linux platform (Fedora Core 4 on i386 with Sun's latest JDK 5.0 update)?

I can't seem to find the answer in a definitive way.

I would appreciate it if someone who has gone through researching the answer to this question give me a hint.

Thanks,

My best guess is that since the threading is native, it is a Fedora Core problem and not a java problem. That being the case, I did find this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89066 It may or may not help, this is a bug report for RedHat 9 and not Fedora Core. I hope this gives a bit extra info. P.S. I enjoy your blog so much I added it to my roll. ;)

Thanks for the link. I enjoy the comments.

A word of caution about praising this: since I was hit with a string of "I really liked your blog. ..." comment spams, I have put a lot of prasing words into my spamwords list. :)

Sorry, I won't praise you again. Hehe. ;) By the way, in addition to your thread issue I found this by Euxx, but you may have already known about the XX switch: http://jroller.com/page/eu?entry=usethreadpriorities_and_other_related_jvm
