Answer 1

Only for Java, you can use BeautyJ.

You can launch it against your file with -xml.* options. For example:

java /your/dir/BeautyJ/lib/beautyj.jar beautyj -xml.out= -xml.doctype your_file.java

...and you get an XML representation of that file (and included ones).

BTW: the "-xml.out=" options specify an output file. Used in that way, with the trailing "=", it output to STDOUT. It's not an error.
