Google searches for the terms: java tcl expect turn up a few things that appear to be integrations of existing Tcl/Expect into the JVM via native interfaces like JNI. There might also be a "native Java" version available that way.
The up side of wrapping an existing implementation is that it would be more familiar to Tcl/Expect users, and all of the docs and support that exist for that. The down side is: if you don't want to learn Tcl/Expect, but want features like that, then coming up with a new way of specifying the kinds of behaviors one wants is much easier by starting fresh. (Easier to create something different, at least -- clean APIs are difficult to design).
