A question on parallel

[Jose]

Fair enough, 

if the EDT is going to be blocked anyway until the operation completes, it
makes sense to use it in the meantime as a working thread.

Thanks for the info

The streams framework has no awareness of "special" threads like EDT. 
EDT is the initiating thread, no different from any other thread.

When you initiate a terminal stream operation (sequential or parallel), the
initiating thread is blocked until the operation completes.  If the
computation is parallel, the initiating thread may get coopted into being a
worker thread.

So:
  - No special behavior for EDT
  - The seq/par distinction is indistinguishable from the EDT's perspective,
since both block until the operation is done.

Even if the initiating thread didn't temporarily join the worker pool, the
EDT would still be blocked.
