I have a possible solution for you. VMD can act as a web server,
allowing a java program to control it simply by loading a URL like

  http://127.0.0.1:8000/load%20pdb%20fileName.pdb

You can download an example TCL script that lets you do this here:

We wrote this script so that we could create web pages that control
VMD, but a java program should be able to do anything that your web
browser can. Let me know if you have any questions about setting up
the script!
