There is nothing in the standard Java API to do something very platform-specific like this, so you won't be able to do this without some native code and using JNI to call the native code.

You could write a non-Java application that gets the required information (you will need a version of the program for each platform you intend to run your Java program on) and then use Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder to call the correct program for the OS you are running on (use System.getProperty("os.name") to find this).
As long as all the programs return the information in the same format, you can use common code to parse the result.
