invokeAndWait

[Tom Schindl]

I think the reason Richard provides is a weak one. I also have
situations where a syncAndWait is needed (I need it because I have to
implement an API I don't control).

Not providing an utility method because someone could do bad things with
it is not a good strategy. Yes concurrent programming is not easy and
you'd better know what you are doing else don't do it!

Not providing utilities leads to is code duplication you see now all
over the place, I have one in my library, Hendrik has one well and most
likely many others. Do jfx-extras also holds utilities or is it simply
about controls? Could we add such a method there?
