The HttpWatch automation interface is COM based so for Java you need to find a way to the COM call methods define in the HttpWatch type library:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HttpWatch\HttpWatchApiPro.dll (32 bit)  
C:\Program Files (x86)\HttpWatch\HttpWatchApiProx64.dll (64 bit)

One way is to use COM form Java is with com4J:
