Your OS can do that for you.

Java is not suitable for this task.

Dear prometheuzz !I knew it but :) OS default can't detect AP which not broadcast SSID. By the way why U said that Java is not suitable for this task?

Dear viethanguyen ,

Java doesnt have this functionality, cause Java is a High Level language, and what you are asking for is low level programming that is related to the underlying OS system calls and modules. So if your OS doesnt have/support this functionality, then how you expect Java to have it!. And if you are using GNU/Linux search for tools like kismet, air-snort ...etc.
