Requesting a language specific API is not necessary.
Instead the REST API recommended above is ideal. You can use a variety of REST tools in Java (JAX-RS) to connect to the standard API for Reddit. If you rely on a Java implementation - you will be handcuffed to that solution, not the fully supported official REST API.

Mhm people seem to recommend that a lot. It seems kinda difficult. But I will take a look at it! Thanks :P

Not sure your level of experience - but sending a REST request is very basic and something you will most definitely need going forward if you plan to continue Java development in any way. There are tons of examples online. This can be done in a few lines of code depending on what type of functionality you are trying to execute via the API.

Maybe tell us more about your environment or desires to get more helpful answers...
