Because your .. form is equivalent to

(."Counting..." (.setMessage (.getMonitor this)))

You are missing a pair of quotes:

(.. this getMonitor (setMessage "Counting..."))

Consider using the -> macro since it also allows clojure function and macros 
and not only methods.

(-> this .getMonitor (.setMessage "Counting..."))
