You can get information about your droplets using their official API. It is a simple REST api which you can call using Java's URL class.

Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests

For simple retrieval of information about your account, Droplets etc. you should use the GET method. The information you request will be returned to you as a JSON object. You can find numerous JSON libraries for Java (e.g. json.org/java).
