At this point I do not seem to have a choice but to develop a driver and Java API on my own. I am hoping some one out there has some kernel driver experience, hopefully with the USB HID interface. If not could anyone point me in the direction of a how to, so I have a starting point.

Brad Hards has posted some information on how to use the standard input event support from user-mode Linux programs. I'd certainly suggest you look at wrapping that support in a thin Java wrapper, rather than trying to write a HID driver in Java.

There are certainly Java USB APIs; jusb.sf.net is the original,
LGPL; and there's something Sun blessed via JCP.  (Which process
is still antagonistic to Free software.)  But using one of those
would be overkill if all you need is HID access.
