The XODE viewer can be used to validate and visually inspect XODE modelled objects. It is a very small program and still needs a lot of work (flexable camera movement being at the top of the list).
The XML data is validated against the XODE XML Scema using the Apache Xerces parser. The official XODE parser reference implementation, part of the ODE Java wrapper (Odejava) project is then used to read the data into ODE. Once created, an automatic visualisation is generated by Odejava based on the geometrical objects described.
To run the XODE Viewer - you will need a recent version of Java (1.4.2 or better) installed. Once Java is installed,
you can launch the XODE viewer with a slingle click. If your browser has been misconfigured and
downloads the file xodeviwer.jnlp, you should be able to run it simply by double clicking. Failing that - open up Java Web Start
and enter the URL http://tanksoftware.com/xode/viewer/.

The viewer carries a BSD-like licensed, the source can be downloaded here. It uses Xith3D, Odejava and some other libraries which can be downloaded individually.
