Could someone knowledgeable about this please weigh in on this?

It was my understanding (perhaps incorrect) that the 2010 FRC Framework for Java was written in such a way to use the underlying vxWorks RTOS to handle the realtime aspects, thus mitigating the lack of true built-in realtime support in the VM. Not?
