You can read the information in /proc just like normal files/directories in any language. You'll have to parse (read and filter out the info you need) the contents of the proc-files/dirs yourself in the program.

See "man proc", and/or search this forum for "/proc" to get more information. And make sure you know how to read files with java of course.
