Googling for "Java mail" would lead you to ... JavaMail. Follow the links, and you'll find tutorials explaining how to send HTML mails. In particular, this one: java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/JavaMail/… — JB Nizet

Use JavaMail to create a MIME-email with a text/html attachment, and then put your HTML in there. Configure JavaMail with the recipient, subject, SMTP-server etc, and ask it to send the mail.

Thanks for the java mail help, How would you suggest to generate HTML Content within my Java program.. I have a parsed a huge json file and saved them as Json Array and values..

I would probably transform the JSON structure into a real Java object, and use a template engine like freemarker.

You can create variable "body" and store in it code for HTML Table created using tags. Visit w3chools.com for more information about HTML Table. You can use tools like Dreamweaver also if u want to create table with rich graphics and copy the code to variable.

Then you have to do is convert static table into dynamic to use json Parsed Values. Just replace static values and use loops to generate multiple rows.
