I have heard MAC OS X supports kernel level programming in java.
Wherever you heard that, ignore it. It's wrong.
I know of no OS that supports kernel level programming in Java. To
do so would require the JVM to be running in the kernel, and no OS
does that, AFAIK. Mac OS X certainly doesn't.
Maybe you mean something else when you say "kernel level
programming". If so, you'd have to explain exactly what you mean,
and what problem you're trying to solve that you think it needs
kernel level programming in Java.
I have worked with command line options but i want to know whether
there are any APIs to mount and unmount the disk images?
Mount, no.
Unmount, maybe. Read the man page for the unmount() system call (man
2 unmount). Then try it. If it works, then you have a solution. If
it doesn't work, then don't do that, and use 'hdiutil' instead.
There is no public API for disk images. The published way to work
with disk-images is the 'hdiutil' command-line tool.
Evidence can be seen with this Terminal.app command:
otool -L /usr/bin/hdiutil
Note the word "Private" in the path to DiskImages.framework.
