You can cut out the copy-paste work for the user by implementing a webserver in Java that listens to a port on the localhost, something like http://localhost:8181. You would then use that URL as the redirect_uri parameter when requesting the refresh token. If your application also automatically opens the refresh token request page for the user then the authorization workflow should be relatively simple and straightforward for the user.

If you really want zero user interaction, you'll need to use Service Accounts and have the service account delegated domain-wide authority to user's Google Drives:
