You can get quite far if you google "geographical reprojection software"
and go through first 5-7 search entries.

If you are looking for Open Source solutions, you might want to look at
"proj.4" and/or GeoTools

The "proj.4" is an ANSI-POSIX C library and utilities. It is a "golden
standard" re-projection software package. Check out info page at
http://trac.osgeo.org/proj

If you have to stay with Java, you probably have to look at GeoTools
(http://geotools.codehaus.org).
