Create a DOM document, and populate it's nodes.
Then save it as a file using code similar to this:

// Save the XML document
File f = File.createTempFile("an_xml_file", ".xml");
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(f);
transformer.transform(source, result);
// Done. (you'll need to handle some exceptions too).
