Sure it does.... Recursion is one of those things that is dependant on the
programmer rather than the language (in fact, with a little work, you can
recurse in BASIC).

In addition,  since Java is threaded, you can spawn new threads to process
the recursed tasks, which COULD hold some performance benefits.

Hope this helps.
