Java threads on dual processor/core

I've no dual core/processor to test it, but I'd like to know if someone of you knows if a simple multithreaded java app takes advantage from multi core/processor.

I'm afraid that threads running into the same process goes all on the same core/processor. Can someone confirm that?
 
Shame there is still no answer for this important question. I too would like to know if multithreaded applications benefit from dual-core. From all accounts, they appear to.
 
I'm 90% sure that OS X will split the threads for a single process between CPUs but I don't know how a Java program would work because it's running in the JVM.
 
If the underlying OS will split the threads, then I'm sure the JVM would as well. Have never seen any evidence to the contrary.
