Let's consider a Lazarus TTimer. You set its interval, assign a method 
for the OnTimer event, and set enabled to True. Once the interval is 
over, OnTimer will fire and call the assigned method. Note that we did 
not touch the TTimer component's code.

Now to the java media player: You assign a pascal method to the 
OnCompetion event (the question is how), and start the player 
(pascal/jni). Once the song is over, OnCompletion will fire and call the 
assigned pascal method.

Pascal/JNI pseudo code:

procedure Play;
begin
   jmediaplayer.Oncompletion := @MyOnCompletion; // how?
   jmediaplayer.start;  // the actual code needs to get the jclass, 
jmethodID and make the start call (no java code involved)
end;

procedure MyOnCompletion(AEnv: Penv; aObj: jObject)
begin
  ShowMessage('Song has ended');
end;

I hope this is clearer.
