Someone here once did
https://github.com/akasha/akasha
which is similar to elemental2 but has a more natural Java API. For example
for common event types specific methods had been added similar to GWT
widgets.
But I don't know about the state and future of that library. Maybe you ask
the maintainer about it. It might be an alternative for you but I am pretty
sure it has other pain points, as always :)
