You might want to look into the Java XML API, W3C DOM API and its implementations like Xerces. The Xerces XML parsing library comes bundled with your Java runtime. A simple Xerces program:

public class Test {

   public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
      DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();      
      DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      System.out.println(factory + "\n" + builder);
      InputSource in = new InputSource(new StringReader(
            "<?xml version='1.0'?><root><child value='1'/></root>"));
      // The doc now contains the entire XML hierarchy
      Document doc = builder.parse(in);
   }

}

BTW, if all you need to do is manipulate your XML files in memory, go for a Java specific solution like JDOM.
