I am creating a user in OpenLDAP using Java. The user is being successfully created, but the passwords are being stored in clear text.

How do you set the password? If you send attribute userPassword along when creating the user's entry with a AddRequest you have to perform the password hashing at the client's side.

If you use separate Password Modify Extended Operation to set the password of an *existing* entry the directive 'password-hash' in slapd.conf (or attribute 'olcPasswordHash' in cn=config) is relevant.
