Hi, I asked the same question a while ago and spent loads of time researching it so I'll communicate what I found here to save you some time, perhaps.
Dom4j will of course parse any valid XML document, an a schema is valid XML. However there is a lot more to it, if you actually want your program to understand the schema in a way that you can display it in a JTree, for example. The dom4j folks suggested the MSV library, but conversations here and over at the MSV mailing list proved that it wouldn't work for what we wanted. In our case, we wanted cardinality info as well as all the addtional info/constraints stored by the Schema. We finally implemented code which is now in production that uses the Castor library. I can't remember but I think it is from IBM. Anyway, it let us walk the schema and grab all the info we wanted as we went.
