SQL parser library for Java - Retrieve the list of table names present in a SQL statement

Question

I am looking for a SQL Library that will parse an SQL statement and return some sort of Object representation of the SQL statement. My main objective is actually to be able

Old question, but I think this project contains what you need:

Data Tools Project - SQL Development Tools

Here's the documentation for the SQL Query Parser.

Also, here's a small sample program. I'm no Java programmer so use with care.
