Hi,
Does anyone know of a method, or library, to convert SGML into XML?
EDIT: For clarification, I have to do the conversion in Java, and I cannot use the SP parser or the related SX tool.
A:
The answer is not always that simple, as it depends on the sgml DTD. I haven't actually found a general SGML parser in Java at all, but this article uses SP which includes a converter.

If only I could use SX to do the conversion, I would be a happy man. I'm restricted to having to use Java to do the conversion.

Why? Can you call SX from Java instead?

A:
See http://jclark.com/sp/sx.htm for the SX converter from SGML to XML in the SP package.

XSLT could convert from XML to SGML (including variants that are not simply copying), but not the other way.

A:
It seems that the general consensus is that there are no existing libraries for doing SGML work in Java. Certainly after several days of fruitlessly searching Google, and asking this question here, I have found no resources on this subject.
