This is equivalent of or code in Java 8 stream API. Not 100% equivalent, but you can get the main idea.

private static final String COMMITS_IN_PATCH_IDENTIFIER = "patchInformation_svnRevisionpublic";  //key used to identify the commits in a patch from JSON response received from PMT
private static final String KEY_STRING = "name";
private static final String VALUE_STRING = "value";

public List getCommitIds (JSONArray array) {
     return arrayToStream(array)
            .map(JSONObject.class::cast)
            .filter(o -> o.get(KEY_STRING).equals(COMMITS_IN_PATCH_IDENTIFIER))
            .findFirst()
            .map(o -> (JSONArray) o.get(VALUE_STRING))
            .map(Main::arrayToStream)
            .map(commits ->
                    commits.map(Object::toString)
                            .map(String::trim)
                            .collect(Collectors.toList())
            )
            .orElseGet(Collections::emptyList);
}
