A HTML validator in Java [closed]

Question

I want validate HTML code in Java.

Like this:

HTMLValidator.validateHTML("aaa<b>bbb<b>");
// Returns false, because tag <b> is not closed

What Java libraries exist to do this?

This question is closed and this one stackoverflow.com/questions/2144966/… is open - stackoverflow.com/questions/3152138/… was of course closed but where is a current list of HTML Parser libraries for java now? — Wolfgang Fahl

stackoverflow.com/questions/3098114/… is another question along these lines that is open. Since there is quite a bit of interest I'd like to edit this question to get it reopened. With 2000 reputation I can edit it but not do the reopen request. — Wolfgang Fahl

You can try JTidy. JTidy is a Java port of HTML Tidy, a HTML syntax checker and pretty printer.
