XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, which is nothing but a text representation of data. You can define your own tags (elements) and attributes as metadata and then you can fill in the data as the values (text) of these elements and attributes.
Now to work with these text files (XML Files) u need some technology to parse them, u can build ur own parser or u can use available parsers, which then would expose the XML file as DOM (Document Object Model) in terms of document, nodes, elements, attributes etc or u can use another implementation SAX(Simple API for Xml) which is an event based parser. You can use java to write or read(interpret) these XML files by using parsers.
There are thousands of sites and books that can help u learn Java and XML working together.
