Questions about Platform.runLater() and Application.start()

[ngalarneau at ABINITIO.COM]

Hello,

Is there documentation that describes somewhere how Platform.runLater() & 
Application.start() interact?

My impression is that (roughly speaking):
 - there is an EventQueue (to use the Swing terminology).
 - the EventQueue holds both UI events (like mouse click) as well as the 
Runnables enqueued by runLater().
 - the first (?) event put in the EventQueue is a Runnable representing 
Application.start().


My impression is, therefore, that any Runnables enqueued during 
Application.start() won't be run until after start() completes.
This behavior is the same as one runLater() not interrupting another 
runLater().


Is this sort of stuff documented somewhere?

Is this the right way to think about this part of the system? (even if the 
implementation is different)

Are there other special things to be aware of about Application.start()?


Thanks,

Neil

P.S. I am using javafx.concurrent.Service & Task and am hitting some 
issues.
