I would also highly suggest using Command Based programming with Java, we have been using it for the past couple of years and are very happy with it. Be careful though, it is not multithreaded as NotInControl has stated. It uses a scheduler to run the commands one execution at a time. But, it does use something called a CommandGroup that will allow you to set up a command exactly like you need as Jared stated earlier.

If you'd like a beginners presentation on how to do these things I can post one. Our team gave a workshop presentation on Command Based Java earlier this fall.
