Great. Go google for "java xml tutorial" or something similar. We don't tend to write code for people or answer broad, open-ended questions. Before you get far, you'll need to realize that, in addition to Java's own core API for reading XML files (which is somewhat clunky) there are solid third-party API that make this a bit simpler (JDOM, DOM4J, and a couple others to be sure) so you might need pick one of these and look up *their* tutorials.
