How to merge multiple xml files with different node structure into a single xml file in java or any other tool?

I have many xml files with different node structure and different nodes. Now I want to merge these two xml files in a single xml file. after searching , I found that i can use xslt for merging multiple xml files and every example is dealing with xml files having same nodal structure.

Thanks Stephen for your suggestions but i am facing different scenario. Following are the snippet of xml files which i want to merge together and also the final xml file should look like.

file1.xml

<Equipment>
<Items>
   <Item>
     <ID>_stdpart_38100</ID>
     <Index>1</Index>
     <SubcategoryIDRef>Power</SubcategoryIDRef>
  </Item>
 </Items>
 <Subcategories>
  <Subcategory>
    <ID>Power</ID>
    <CategoryIDRef>Power and Handling</CategoryIDRef>
  </Subcategory>
  <Categories>
  <Category>
  <ID>Power and Handling</ID>
  <Title>Power and Handling</Title>
  <Subtitle />
  </Category>
 <Categories>
 </Equipment>

file2.xml

<Models>
 <Model>
 <ID>S Sedan</ID>
<Name>S Sedan</Name>
<Index>1</Index>
<Equipment>
  <Item>
    <IDRef>_stdpart_38100</IDRef>
    <Optionality>S</Optionality>
  </Item>
<Equipment>
</Model>
</Models>

and the final merged file should look like merged.xml

<Models>
 <Model>
    <ID>S Sedan</ID>
    <Name>S Sedan</Name>
    <Index>1</Index>
    <Equipment>
    <Item>
        <ID>_stdpart_38100</ID>
       <Index>1</Index>
       <Subcategory>
         <ID>Power</ID>
         <Category>
            <ID>Power and Handling</ID>
            <Title>Power and Handling</Title>
           <Subtitle />
         </Category>
     </Subcategory>
     <Optionality>S</Optionality>
   </Item>
   </Equipment>
  </Model>
</Models>

Here is an example in which the XML files have radically different structure:

If this doesn't help, update your question with examples of your XML and what you need the merged file to look like.
