Hi Tobias,

If your structures are relatively simple (most importantly, there are no 
shared variables -- the same variable occurring in different places in 
the structure), you can build the structures in ECLiPSe's Java 
interface, see the Embedding and Interfacing manual's chapter on the 
Java-ECLiPSe interface, section "Java representation of ECLiPSe data":

http://www.eclipse-clp.org/doc/embedding/embroot044.html

However, it is usually much easier to construct ECLiPSe structures from 
within ECLiPSe. In your case, if you already have Java code to parse the 
   files, then it may be better to send the parsed data to ECLiPSe and 
construct the list of structures there [I assume you want to use the 
data in an ECLiPSe program in any case].

Cheers,

Kish
