Sounds like a job for gdal_translate:

Don't let the complicated list of options scare you... for a simple 
conversion you'd use something like:

   gdal_translate -of GTiff src.ecw out.tif

Not in Java, but you don't need to do any coding anyway, except perhaps 
write a script to run multiple conversions in batch.
