To use mecanum drive in Java, it's something simple like using the mecanum drive method of the robot drive class. If you have Java programming questions, please ask them in the Java forum.

RobotDrive.java in WPILib

    /**
     * Drive method for Mecanum wheeled robots.
     *
     * A method for driving with Mecanum wheeled robots. There are 4 wheels
     * on the robot, arranged so that the front and back wheels are toed in 45 degrees.
     * When looking at the wheels from the top, the roller axles should form an X across the robot.
     *
     * This is designed to be directly driven by joystick axes.
     *
     * @param x The speed that the robot should drive in the X direction. [-1.0..1.0]
     * @param y The speed that the robot should drive in the Y direction.
     * This input is inverted to match the forward == -1.0 that joysticks produce. [-1.0..1.0]
     * @param rotation The rate of rotation for the robot that is completely independent of
     * the translation. [-1.0..1.0]
     * @param gyroAngle The current angle reading from the gyro.  Use this to implement field-oriented controls.
