As far as i know there are no native opensource Java OCR SDKs. There are Java APIs which wrap calls for native interfaces, for example, for one of the most popular opensource OCR engines - Tesseract (http://groups.google.com/group/tesseract-ocr/) - there are some Java wrappers like tesjeract (http://code.google.com/p/tesjeract/) or Tess4J (http://tess4j.sf.net/). That could work for you, but it's rather hard to set up and will require developing image-preprocessing and font training on your side.

One more solution could be a cloud service. It requires end-user application to have the internet connection, but it's independent from your programming language choice and resources limitations. Have a look at ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK, it's a cloud-based OCR SDK recently launched by ABBYY. It's in beta, so for now it's totally free to use and it has a ready-to-go Java code samples.

Though it is not in Java, when it comes to OCR I'd suggest the open source Ocropus system http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/

Also, this thread discusses Java OCR solutions Java OCR implementation

Also, if you just want some ad hoc solution you could try Google Docs OCR http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-docs-ocr.html
