Based on @rüdiger-herrmann's answer:

String url = "https://github.com/renaud/solr_noLenghNormSimilarity";
String hash = "802558f58add3a1f5b33f04254194bd7cd59b27f";
String subPath = "src/org";
String dest = "myclone";

File localPath = new File(dest);

Git gitRepo = Git.cloneRepository().setURI(url).setDirectory(localPath).setNoCheckout(true).call();
gitRepo.checkout().setStartPoint(hash).addPath(subPath).call();
gitRepo.getRepository().close();

Currently the JGit library (as of 3.0.0) doesn't support sparse checkouts.
