decode .pb file with java, have to write a small program?

Question

I have a .pb file which looks like this:

My idea is that when I decode it, it should looks something like this:

But also I want to then change that block of code directly above these words (actually the whole larger file of which it is only a small component) into a .pb file, run it through the system and see if I get the same out put as the .pb file I recently decoded.

How to accomplish this?

From what I've been reading it seems as though I have to write a small .java program to decode everything, and then maybe I can encode the other by just using the protoc? or do a have to write a small program for that too?

If you are interested in genuinly helping me please try to explain in words and not just post a link to the documentation, like they did in this question.

Where do you get problems with? First you need to create the interface classes for the protocoll buffer. Then you need to create a Java application which decodes your `*.pb` and returns an object tree. With that object tree you are able to build your XML like structure. — SubOptimal, Apr 08 '15 at 07:00
