There is the The Flying Saucer Project that let you render XHTML to PDF. Maybe that could be used instead of RTF or the resulting PDF could be converted to RTF?

I'd do the following:

  1. At first use JTidy to convert HTML to valid XHTML
  2. Apply an XSLT to convert to RTF using an XML library like Saxon or Xerces

Note: although I didn't find an xsl file for that conversion directly I'm sure there is one anywhere

You should check out HTMLEditorKit. It provides some support for CSS rendering. There is also an RTFEditorKit for writing, although it is not entirely reliable (last I checked, several years ago).

Is there a reason you need to use Java instead of just loading the HTML in Word (or some other editor) and saving it as RTF? Also check this W3C link.
