Recommendations for Lightweight Threading?

I am considering moving one of my projects from C to Java, but I am
hoping to find a high-performance threading implementation, or something
along the lines of libqthread, which offers Fill-Empty bit blocking and
good cooperative lightweight threading as a library.

Is there a current "best" solution when doing many threaded programs in
Java? By many threads I mean many more than the cores or machines on the
network. Something that scales up efficiently to distributed computing
would be nice as well.
