You can use the JDOM library in Java  Define your tags as Element objects  document your elements with Document Class  and build your xml file with SAXBuilder  Try this example     Root Element Element root new Element  CONFIGURATION    Document doc new Document      Element 1 Element child1 new Element  BROWSER      Element 1 Content child1 addContent  chrome      Element 2 Element child2 new Element  BASE      Element 2 Content child2 addContent  http fut      Element 3 Element child3 new Element  EMPLOYEE      Element 3 -- gt  In this case this element has another element with Content child3 addContent new Element  EMP NAME   addContent  Anhorn  Irene        Add it in the root Element root addContent child1   root addContent child2   root addContent child3     Define root element like root doc setRootElement root     Create the XML XMLOutputter outter new XMLOutputter    outter setFormat Format getPrettyFormat     outter output doc  new FileWriter new File  myxml xml

There is no need for any External libraries  the JRE System libraries provide all you need   I am infering that you have a org w3c dom Document object you would like to write to a file  To do that  you use a javax xml transform Transformer   import org w3c dom Document import javax xml transform Transformer  import javax xml transform TransformerFactory  import javax xml transform TransformerException  import javax xml transform TransformerConfigurationException  import javax xml transform dom DOMSource   import javax xml transform stream StreamResult    public class XMLWriter       public static void writeDocumentToFile Document document  File file                Make a transformer factory to create the Transformer         TransformerFactory tFactory   TransformerFactory newInstance                Make the Transformer         Transformer transformer   tFactory newTransformer                Mark the document as a DOM  XML  source         DOMSource source   new DOMSource document               Say where we want the XML to go         StreamResult result   new StreamResult file               Write the XML to file         transformer transform source  result             Source  http   docs oracle com javaee 1 4 tutorial doc JAXPXSLT4 html
