[appengine-java] data loads for tests

[Rusty Wright]

I'm working on a gizmo for making it easier to load data into the local data 
store (e.g., desktop) when doing tests.  The file format is xml; a sample 
follows.  I'm using Apache Xerces and SAX; this is my first adventure with 
parsing an xml file.

Basically, the structure of the xml is that the top level is a dataset, and in 
that you can have 0 or more entity-lists and 0 or more entities.  Within an 
entity-list you can have 1 or more entities; the entity-list specifies the type 
of the enclosed entities.  Within an entity you can have entity-lists and 
entities.  Entities can have properties, of the types supported by the data 
store (hmm, I just realized that I need to support user defined types as well). 
 Any nesting of entities or entity-lists within entities means that there is 
parenting. In the example below the two entities in the type1 entity-list are 
at the top/root level; the entity-list there is a convenience.

I'm posting this to get feedback, suggestions, etc.

Thanks
