Quartz Scheduler and threads

this is kind of a theoretical question. If I have a Quartz scheduler that is configured to use a threadCount of lets say 3 threads. If one of the jobs simply doesn't come to an end because it listens to lets say a stream of some kind (e.g. Twitter), can I assume that there are effectively just 2 threads left for the execution of the pending jobs?

Thanks for your answers.

Yes, your assumptions are correct. Moreover, if you would have three jobs like this, Quartz would be simply unable to run any other jobs.

However this seems unusual to have a job running forever (and I am not sure if Quartz will play nicely in this case, but most likely this won't be a problem). If you have a piece of code that will occupy the thread all the time, just create that thread manually.
