Can I iterate through a NodeList using for-each in Java?

Question

I want to iterate through a NodeList using a for-each loop in Java. I have it working with a for loop and a do-while loop but not for-each.

Node

I know it is late to the party, but...
Since Java-8 you can write @RayHulha's solution even more concisely by using lambda expression (for creating a new Iterable) and default method (for Iterator.remove):

public static Iterable iterable(final NodeList nodeList) {
    return () -> new Iterator() {

        private int index = 0;

        @Override
        public boolean hasNext() {
            return index < nodeList.getLength();
        }

        @Override
        public Node next() {
            if (!hasNext())
                throw new NoSuchElementException();
            return nodeList.item(index++); 
        }
    };
}

and then use it like this:

NodeList nodeList = ...;
for (Node node : iterable(nodeList)) {
    // ....
}

or equivalently like this:

NodeList nodeList = ...;
iterable(nodeList).forEach(node -> {
    // ....
});
