A good HTML object model in Java?

I'm looking for an HTML object model in Java, capable of parsing HTML (not required) and containing all HTML elements (and CSS as well) in an elegant object model.

I'm looking for a pure java version of the Groovy's HTML builder. (I have no luck on google with this request.)

I want to be able to perform stuff like:

HTML html = new HTML();
Body body = html.body();

Table table body.addTable(myCssStyle);
Row row = table.addRow("a", "b", "c").withCss(cssRowStyle);

and so on...

Check out Jsoup:

Example: (Building some html)

Document doc = Document.createShell("");

Element headline = doc.body().appendElement("h1").text("thats a headline");
Element pTag = doc.body().appendElement("p").text("some text ...");
Element span = pTag.prependElement("span").text("That's");

System.out.println(doc);

Output:

<html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
  <h1>thats a headline</h1>
  <p><span>That's</span>some text ...</p>
 </body>
</html>

Just an idea: you could take a look at the source code of xhtmlrenderer project. http://code.google.com/p/flying-saucer//

It's not plain HTML (it's XHTML), but may be a good starting point, don't you think?
