Don't know about Java, but in C++ there appears to be a nanosecond timer in WPILib:

/**
 * @brief Gives real-time clock system time with nanosecond resolution
 * @return The time, just in case you want the robot to start autonomous at 8pm on Saturday.
*/
double GetTime()  
{
	struct timespec tp;
	
	clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,&tp);
	double realTime = (double)tp.tv_sec + (double)((double)tp.tv_nsec*1e-9);
	
	return (realTime);
}
