What is the scheduling algorithm used in the JVM?

I use Java language to develop software. I don't know exactly which scheduling algorithm used in the JVM. Is it a scheduling based on priority and preemptive, or a kind of round-robin?

Thread scheduling? I am fairly sure that is passed directly to the OS. Each Java thread is a native thread. Now the best place to double check this would be the VM specs, the opening paragraph (to me) confirms the above. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/Concepts.doc.html#33308

For synchronization between JAVA thread, can we use something like semaphore?

Thread.join, java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock and the synchronize keyword.

The thread scheduling algorithm are different between one JVM and another,so that it is possible to accurately predict when one thread will be executed over another
