The same code as kornelissietsma has given, but written on java:

import oracle.jdevimpl.db.adapter.DatabaseProviderHelper;

class Decode {
    String pass = ""; 

    public Decode() {
        pass = DatabaseProviderHelper.comingIn("HASH");
        System.out.println(pass);
    }   

    public static void main(String[] args){
        new Decode();
    }   
}

Can be executed as following:

# javac -classpath .:/full/path/to/sqldeveloper/BC4J/lib/db-ca.jar:/full/path/to/sqldeveloper/jlib/ojmisc.jar sqldeveloper_hash_decode.java
# java -classpath .:/full/path/to/sqldeveloper/BC4J/lib/db-ca.jar:/full/path/to/sqldeveloper/jlib/ojmisc.jar Decode
