You can, but you'll have to implement the parsing, reconnecting, and other parts of the spec yourself.

This isn't too onerous; you'll need to build on top of an http library that lets you process bytes as they come in over the wire. I've built a Python library that parses SSE streams, and is build on Requests. You should be able to write something similar in Java.
