Forum: JRuby real ruby thread

Hi,

I am new with Jruby, and I want to use it to perform multithread
How can I use it to do real concurrent simultaneous threads
for example (using openuri to download web pages from a queue of url)

regards,

Hi Rubix,

It's my belief that in JRuby, you just do Thread.new {... whatever...} 
and
you get a real thread.  JRuby uses "real" threads, as opposed to Ruby.

In fact, Charles just recently wrote a Wiki entry on this topic:
