I use javax.xml.bind.util.JAXBResult and then feed that into an XSLT
transformer to get nicely indented output.

Here's what you can find from the API doc:

        JAXBResult result = new JAXBResult(
          JAXBContext.newInstance("org.acme.foo") );

        // set up XSLT transformation
        TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(new StreamSource("test.xsl"));

        // run transformation
        t.transform(new StreamSource("document.xml"),result);

        // obtain the unmarshalled content tree
        Object o = result.getReult();
