You may want to look into GeoMason.  Though the intent with GeoMason
is to deal with geospatial entities, it is wrapped round the Java
Topology Suit (JTS).  JTS provides the type of functionality you are
looking for, including querying Geometry area.

GeoMason is found in the "contrib" directory in the main MASON distribution.
