Using Java to find simple Active Directory Information

This is my first post, so please be gentle.

I've recentley started using Powershell at work to change AD groups, find AD information etc. but I'm lacking the GUI that I like so much about Java.

Is there a simple way (or example of code) whereby I enter a target hostname and I'm returned with the details I ask for. AD memberhsip groups, account info etc?

My Java knowledge isn't as great as my Powershell so as much help as possible would be really apprechiated.

Thanks
