Is there a reason you wouldn't just signal a thread dump and check out the running threads consuming cpu time and see what's on their stack?

You can use sendsignal (http://www.latenighthacking.com/projects/2003/sendSignal/)

or VisualVM or Jconsole to get the threaddumps.

You could also utilize something like findbugs / checkstyle / pmd to run an analysis against your code to look for infinite-loop scenarios.
