my bad. The code snippet should be as follows:

for(UndirectedGraphNode node : UndirectedGraph.getNodesList() ) {
   double sum = 0;
   int count = 0;
   for(UndirectedGraphNodeReference neighbor :
node.getNeighborsList() ) {
     sum += ????
     count++;
   }
   node.setWeight(sum/count);

}

----- graph.proto -----

package graph;

option java_package = "graph";
option java_outer_classname = "UndirectedGraphType";
option optimize_for = CODE_SIZE;

message UndirectedGraphNodeReference {
   required string id = 1;
}

message UndirectedGraphNode {
   required string id = 1;
   required double weight = 2;
   repeated UndirectedGraphNodeReference neighbors = 2;
}

message UndirectedGraph {
   repeated UndirectedGraphNode nodes = 1;
}
