I have formatted and annotated this for you:

// first we have a ','/2 structure
result is com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor=, arity=2
    // this is a (=)/2 structure
    arg(1)=com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor== arity=2
        arg(1)=[     // Java collection, corresponding to ECLiPSe list
            // and this is an item/8 structure
            com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor=item arity=8
                arg(1)=1 arg(2)=4 arg(3)=3.0 arg(4)=null
                arg(5)=null arg(6)=null arg(7)=null arg(8)=null
            ]
        ]
        arg(2)=[     // Java collection, corresponding to ECLiPSe list
             com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor=item arity=8
                arg(1)=1 arg(2)=4 arg(3)=3.0 arg(4)=null
                arg(5)=null arg(6)=null arg(7)=null arg(8)=null
            ]
        ]
    ]
    // this is solve/5
    arg(2)=com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor=solve arity=5
        arg(1)=[     // Java collection, corresponding to ECLiPSe list
            com.parctechnologies.eclipse.CompoundTermImpl with [functor=item arity=8
                arg(1)=1 arg(2)=4 arg(3)=3.0 arg(4)=null
                arg(5)=null arg(6)=null arg(7)=null arg(8)=null
            ]
        ]
        arg(2)=[]
        arg(3)=[]
        arg(4)=[]
        arg(5)=32
    ]
]

If you take some time to look at this, understand the structure of Prolog terms,
and how they are mapped to Java objects, you should be able to solve your problem.
