Try java.io.RandomAccessFile.

Call RandomAccessFile#seek() to position the file pointer correctly
and then call one or more of the read(..) methods available in the
RandomAccessFile class. Or you could go balls deep and use a
FileChannel, but that is about as fun as pleasuring yourself with a
cheese-grater.

Oh, and RandomAccessFile#close it afterwards whydoncha.
