you forgit one thing that the Task Switching between Processes is costlier than that between threads.<br />
<br />
The Operating system resources don't get exhausted easily when you are using threads.<br />
<br />
While for proceses they have to be allocated some memory , etc Also the OS specifies the Number of Max current Active Processes called the working set .<br />

Theoretically a Process can CONTAIN ANY number of threads inside it.<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
