VLC can play webm and vp8 videos since version 1.1.0, and there are Java bindings available for it. Have a look at:

  • jVLC: http://wiki.videolan.org/Java_bindings
  • VLCJ: http://code.google.com/p/vlcj/

I've used jVLC and it works, but it is not actively maintained anymore. VLCJ looks very good.
