Based on the text I quoted above, when the state of a thread is waiting, blocked or sleeping, is the thread eligible to run?

In the waiting state the thread is alive and after when the thread gets it's opportunity it again goes back to the runnable state.It doesn't mean that it be instantly be running.It schedule depends upon the scheduler.
The same is true for sleeping state.When the sleep time is up it again goes back to runnable state

Think about this in simple terms. In order for a thread to be eligible to run it must be in the runnable state. If it is in any other state it is not eligible to run.
All code in my posts, unless a source is explicitly mentioned, is my own.
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
