Hi, yes it is possible. There are bindings for DBus in Java which you
can find on the DBus Web page[0]. Alternatively if you search for dbus
java on google the first hit is the DBus-Java documentation page[1]
which links to the releases. The latest release is version 2.5, which is
avaliable here[2]

I also believe that DBus-Java has been packaged for (at least) Fedora,
Ubuntu, Debian (currently only in testing), Gentoo, Suse, Mandriva and
should be available through the normal package management system.

The DBus-Java documentation (available at[1] or in the distribution)
will tell you how to write programs in Java which use DBus. Specific
information about interfacing with gnome-keyring you will have to get
from gnome-keyring itself.

hth,
Matt
