I recently put RTF-reading capabilities into a system I wrote for a 
client.  I used an RTF grammar for JavaCC that I wrote to parse the 
document, which I then turned a stream of XML SAX events.  You could do 
something similar.

The grammar I wrote is at:

You can read more about JavaCC, if you're not familiar with it, at:

A good intro article that Chuck McManis wrote for JavaWorld a while back:

You can also read more about the project I worked on and how I dealt with 
the RTF issues in an article I wrote for Java Developer Journal recently:
