May be valid,
as parser you can use xerces (http://apache.org).
Create a batch or shell script containing the following

set CLASSPATH=%XMLTOOLS%\xerces\xercesImpl.jar;%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%XMLTOOLS%\xerces\xml-apis.jar;%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%XMLTOOLS%\xerces\xmlParserAPIs.jar;%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=%XMLTOOLS%\xerces\xercesSamples.jar;%CLASSPATH%
java sax.Counter %1

where XMLTOOLS ist is the environment variable that definnes
the path to your tools. You might place FOP and XALAN here
as well.
