Sorry to hear about what happened. I know the feeling. My advice is just to float your resume out to recruiters and keep looking for other jobs, which you are already doing. If you can keep the job you have and still make it to interviews, don't quit. Staying busy writing Java Swing applications isn't a black mark by any means. I think it would be harder to explain a period of unemployment than a period of underemployment. My first dev job out of college was at a startup (not in SV), and there was only dev work for the first 2 years. After that, all responsibilities were taken on by the lead dev, and we juniors were left with no work at all. Nada, zip. The salary was just enough to live on, and no one was allowed any raises. I took on a QA role and the other junior just bided his time taking MOOCs. QA wasn't for me, but I did it for almost a whole year until I couldn't stand it anymore and quit. I actually planned on becoming a truck driver, because the starting salary was about $5-10k more than what I was making as a dev. But I sent my resume out one more time and ended up getting a great Rails job in another city through a recruiter. So I didn't actually do trucking.
