You can try getting network update of type connection (CONN). That would return new contacts made by the profile in context. In REST form that would be,

http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/network/updates?type=CONN&count=50&start=0

This is the REST API call. There should be an equivalent signature in the Connections API of linkedin-j jar.
