Java 5 threads in linux

Hi,

I am using the following java version in Linux

java version "1.5.0_06"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)

Threads are created using the source code:

private static ExecutorService thPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);

My question is how threads are created in linux using the mentioned runtime.

1. Does the code line above create 5 linux native threads (process)?

2. Does it create java threads? Don't know if java and native threads are same.

3. If answer of the question 1 is "NO" then does one native linux threads for java runtime do all the concurrent execution?

Please explain. Any documents on java threads in Linux for java 5?

Thanks in advance

Sunny
