I don't think there's a single way to do it, but most of the services have their own APIs, and some of them provide
Java
libraries. See:
Google Contacts Data API
Yahoo! Address Book API
Yahoo! Contacts API
Windows Live Contacts API

Those sites probably use the APIs mentioned by Carey.

At the risk of sounding trivial: by reading the documentation and implementing what it says. Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Just for fun... Created a webapp and tried the mentioned APIs. This is how long it took me to do view my contacts.
Google Contacts: 29 minutes (included download).
Windows Live: 44 minutes (had problem with proxy)
Yahoo: 41 minutes (errata in documentation).
No, it is not hard at all.
Did you see how Paul
