Is there a library or tools in Python/Java that that allows doing that ?

Solution

You could use BeautifulSoup in python

I tried this code and got the required output.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
with open('file.txt','r') as fo:
    sgml=fo.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(sgml,'html.parser')
text_list=soup.find_all('text')
for item in text_list:
    lines_in_item=item.text.split('\n')
    [print(x.strip()) for x in lines_in_item if x.strip()!=""]

Output

1993
17 June 1994
Arms, Military Equipment
