Is it possible to use environments from existing packages when defining my own custom environment?

Question

I'm trying to define a new environment for my own needs, and I'm trying to use the lstlisting environment from the listings package in the definition of my new environment, but whenever I try to compile my document with this definition nothing happens. I don't get any errors, but the document also doesn't recompile. When I remove the lstlisting environment from my definition however the document compiles without any issues.

In more detail:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\newenvironment{java}
    {
    \ttfamily
    \begin{lstlisting}[language=java]
    }
    {
    \end{lstlisting}
    \sffamily
    }
\begin{document}
\begin{java}
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
    System.out.println("This is a Test!");
}
\end{java}
\end{document}

When I try to compile this nothing happens.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\newenvironment{java}
    {
    \ttfamily
    \begin{center}
    }
    {
    \end{center}
    \sffamily
    }
\begin{document}
\begin{java}
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
    System.out.println("This is a Test!");
}
\end{java}
\end{document}

This works perfectly fine and compiles without issues, though it (obviously) doesn't do what I want it to do.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=java]
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++){
    System.out.println("This is a Test!");
}
\end{listing}
\end{document}

This works fine too, except it also doesn't do what I need.
