Java apis to query RPM package information for file

In Linux, RPM package information for a file can be determined using the 'rpm -qf' option. Is anyone aware of a JAVA library which supports these kind of operations?

E.g.:

/bin # rpm -qf grep
grep-2.7-5.7.1

There is Redline RPM, which has a Scanner that might do what you want. I've used it to package RPMs via Ant/Maven, but never to read them.

I am unaware of any library that provides an easy API to check RPM package info. You can, however, use Java to execute shell commands and interpret their results.

Some more info:
