JavaFX is single-Threaded, Platform.runLater(). Swing is also 
single-Threaded, SwingUtilities.invokeLater(). They can also be put on 
the same thread. I cannot comment on how threading was supposed to be 
handled in pure AWT, but swing renders this question kinda obsolete 
since 1998, thats more than 20 years...
