JAVAFX Service creates new threads

[Kevin Rushforth]

This is documented in the API docs for the Service class:

    The Service by default uses a thread pool Executor with some
    unspecified default or maximum thread pool size. This is done so
    that naive code will not completely swamp the system by creating
    thousands of Threads.


You need to specify your own Executor if you want to change this default 
behavior.
