Maybe there is a newer ps for you?  That's what ps used to do for me, but it 
now has the new feature.  I suspect it depends on the new threading model 
used in kernel 2.6.  

I get ver different results according to where I pass the -m flag:
[1021] hirsch>ps -efwww| grep java | wc
      2      42     440
[1022] hirsch>ps -emfwww| grep java | wc
     25     801    9226

Apparently eclips has 24 threads.
