Try JavaFX, this seems to be the sort of thing it was designed for.
JavaFX is just Java classes, but there's a scripting language for it
too. You can just use the UI it generates and interface that to your code.

Also, check out Synth:

For something that looks like potentially maybe a worthy effects platform the
gee-whiz hawksites for JavaFX sure are bland. Despite the intense
anti-marketing campaign around JavaFX it sports a superficial appearance of
great usefulness.

Have you (or you, or you, or - yes, you there in the back) used JavaFX?

Have you seen any citable articles, demos or tutorials on JavaFX that actually
show off its capabilities and don't bore you to tears?
