While I'd imagine there are HTML libraries that don't convert entities (you might check out http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/, at least) you can always use regular expressions. If your input is well-formed I'd imagine that XSLT would also work, but then you'd have to use XSLT, and we'd all stand around and laugh and point. I don't know if you're trying to do this from within a Java application or as a standalone tool, but if standalone, I'd probably just use one of the [J]Ruby alternatives; I do a lot of massaging with a combination of regex and some of the XML/HTML libraries.
