Would this only happen at the OS level?

In a Java program, each (Java) thread has a name and a ThreadGroup.
It would be very useful to Java developers to see this information
when debugging Java programs.

Of course, that means interacting with the runtime.

Not only that, but KOD also has no way to map from the target's thread
id to gdb's thread id.  cf my KOD critique.  IMNSHO KOD is the wrong
way to go until it is redesigned and rewritten.
