Why can Scene's only be constructed on the UI thread?

[Tom Schindl]

If you don't use Tooltips & context menus you can construct the scenegraph in any thread.

I had heard years ago jre 8 was going to address this via 2 drawing threads and modularity but jigsaw was delayed and not sure what happened to the 2 drawing thread idea. I really wish we could instantiate windows in memory and when needed draw them. The user experience and perception of java would be so much better for the client side. If someone on the java client side knows how to do this I would love to try it to verify it.
