Harshana,

I'm not sure what dependencies you're considering -- in general I don't see a need for consuming 3rd party libraries for your project.  Perhaps you can describe what you'd like to use and what your use case is.

I was thinking about using a 3rd party library for DOM generation if there is any which satisfies our requirements. 

It's unlikely that you'll find a library that will work well for this project, since it doesn't make sense to build an XML DOM.  Take a look at org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.wikitext.ui.editor.syntax.FastMarkupPartitioner.PartitionBuilder, you'll want to do something similar.  It builds a DOM-like structure that uses common abstractions supported by the WikiText framework, such as blocks, spans, BlockType and SpanType.

Let me know if you think that makes sense.
