It's more like a runnable than a thread. The point about a job is that it's a unit of work. Something else runs the job. There could be a thread pool, and Eclipse picks whatever one is free, or there could be a single thread running through all the outstanding jobs.
There's a lot of other stuff in the infrastructure which allows jobs to be prioritised over another, ensure that only one job gets run at a time, that kind of thing.
So whilst a Thread, at some point, is going to be used to run a Job, which thread it is, and how that thread is created, isn't of any relevance to you as a Job developer.
