For platform independent result, check JMX and OperatingSystemMXBean:

OperatingSystemMXBean mxBean = ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean();
double loadAverage = mxBean.getSystemLoadAverage();

Please mind that if your platform is unable to report it, the value returned will be negative, which is the result in my case on Win 7 box.
