Encapsulating those calls in a JohnSession has multiple reasons:

1. We get rid of ugly getValue() / setValue() calls spread all over the UI code;
2. We start defining what an attack session is; (A name, a set of input files, JohnSession.mode(), JohnSession.isForkEnabled(), etc.. you get the idea)
3. We can pass a fully defined session around as a single variable;
4. We get to write more beautiful code, for e.g. by doing JohnSession.save() JohnSession.load() instead of iterating over lists and other data types and serializing/deserializing each and every option in the UI code.

I see you have quite some progress on PR #24. Before I can proceed to the review, can you please writeup a small summary here of what have you accomplished so far with it? It will make my job a bit easier.
