Ok, this is a total shot in the dark ... as I really don't understand what
you are trying to accomplish (please elaborate for a better answer) ...

I'm assuming that you want to initiate a request from a rpg program for a
java program to pop up a gui where the user can select information, and then
have that selection returned to the RPG program.  Close?

If so, then data queue's are your friend :)

Write your java program so that it monitors for entries on a data queue ...
when it receives a entry, pop up your list, accept the selection, and then
have it send the result to another data queue.

Your RPG program can send the request for a selection to the first data
queue, and then wait for an entry on the 2nd data queue with the results.
