The current behavior of the Create New Project button is shown here:

Stage stage = (Stage)(

You should try adding in ControlsFX this will help.

You can do the following:

   Service service = new Service(){
       @Override
       protected Task createTask() {
       return new Task() {
          @Override
          protected T call() throws Exception {
        //Do your processing here.                      }
          };
      }
    };
    service.setOnSucceeded(event -> {//do your processing});
    service.setOnFailed(event -> {//do your processing});              
    ProgressDialog pd = new ProgressDialog(service);
    pd.setContentText("Please wait while the window loads...");
    pd.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
    pd.initOwner(stage);
    service.start();

This will put your code on the background thread. ControlsFX dialogs start and stop with the service.
