I would guess the problem is that your message pumping code
(display.readAndDispatch()) is not getting called now. That would cause
the dialog to appear but then the app would lock up.
Perhaps switching to syncExec means that because you're now waiting for
that call to complete you're not reaching the code that pumps the messages.

You should have block on open(true) and not have the read/dispatch loop.
If you set block on open true it will run the dispatch loop for you.
In other words, just:

should be sufficient.
But why are you creating a Shell? The jface.Window class doesn't require
to have a shell passed in on the constructor. A null will do. You only
need a shell if you want your dialog to be in front of another shell AND
have that other shell disabled while your dialog is open.
If your application has a shell that you want the dialog to be modal in
respect to, you should use that shell instead of faking one up. The
problem you will have here is that this fake shell is never disposed.
That would explain why you lock up because the shell is never disposed
so your loop is never exited.
