I think that the most reasonable and light-weight way to do that would be to detect the underlying OS, and parse the output of some command line commands. (for example, uname
and the contents of the file /proc/meminfo
on Linux)

Java graphics performance for games has been shown to come down to the drivers that the card uses, on occasions, so I doubt any of this information will be of much use to discover if the game will run OK.
It would be more useful to run a test on a fixed size rendering surface and count how many FPS can be drawn.

1Nothing says that the games themselves use Java - I suspect that the games are downloadable. – Jean Hominal Dec 08 '10 at 16:57
