What do you mean by "natively"?

I don't know what you mean.  Here's a sentence from this article that
says Java can exploit mutiple CPUs:

    Having multiple CPU's works well with Java threads, as they don't
    have to wait for long before getting onto a CPU, however there can
    be a problem by using too many CPU's for a thread this is called
    processor affinity
