I am building rss reader that can read RSS feeds. Are there any helpful libraries in java to not reinvent the wheel like parsing the xml or organizing the feeds?

There's more if you google around a bit. The magic search term for me was "java rss reader api"

I personally have used Rome in a project and it has a pretty decent API for generating RSS feeds. I haven't used it to consume them though.

java.net/projects/rome links to rometools.org, which is an expired domain. Is Rome still being maintained? –  Rui Vieira Mar 23 '13 at 17:25
Honestly I don't know. I've been working .net now for a while. Open source projects can change a lot in a couple years. –  Berin Loritsch Mar 23 '13 at 18:25
It seems to still be active, but on rometools.jira.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa, it would be good for future reference to perahps update the link. cheers –  Rui Vieira Mar 23 '13 at 22:52
