The preliminary good news: I am able to use java events without java 
coding (other than one fixed java bit). I have tested the java media 
player and once the song is over, the pascal event is fired successfully :)

The fixed bit of java code can handle any event with any signature from 
any object. I have some minor but time consuming hurdles/bugs to 
overcome, but once done, only pascal coding will be needed for any java 
class.
