You are not using the right tool for the job. Thread management is not the \
responsibility of the UI toolkit, all it does is require that you got your stuff in \
order and run its code on the appropriate thread. Platform.run and runAndWait are \
just entry points for doing that, not multithreading solutions. There are good \
libraries for asynchronous execution; just use CompletableFuture, RxJava or \
JDeffered. RxJava even has build in support for putting a task back onto the JavaFX \
UI thread: observeOn(JavaFxScheduler.platform()).
