You need a MIB-parser for this. SNMP4J won't do this for you, it's just
a SNMP stack. A SNMP stack can operate without knowing the MIB (definition).
A possible solution is Mibble. The authors of SNMP4J also have a
commecial product called AgenPro 2.

You may google a little bit and will probably find a lot of MIB parsers.
