Thread dump is currently supported in Java Console by calling private native APIs in the VM and redirect the output from stdout/stderr into System.out and System.err. In J2SE 5.0, a new set of Java APIs are available for accessing the thread stack information more easily through Thread.getAllStackTraces(). We should consider using the new APIs to improve robustness of the code, and also extend the thread dump support to webstart.

it turns out the Thread.getAllStackTraces() does not provide all the information generated by JVM_DumpAllStacks. we will use JVM_DumpAllStacks for both plugin and webstart for now.
