You can create an xml file and write it out using the w3cDOM package. It has methods to insert child nodes and such. Also, an xml file is ultimately just a text file, so if you can handle maintaining the structure yourself, it can just be done w/ a string writer.

DOM is very memory consuming when dealing with lot of data. It is better to use StAX in this case or simple println-s.
