After using a language like Scala (or even C#) the Java syntax feels
extremely verbose. I've actually considered writing the UI part of my
app in Scala for this reason, but as all of the app's logic is already
written in Java, setting up a mixed Java/Scala project seems like more
work than dealing with callbacks in Java.

This is certainly true. What I'd love is to be able to have the app
block until the "dialog closed" event is received, while keeping the
dialog responsive. I now understand why it doesn't work though, and
very much appreciate your responses.
