Convert DOC file to DOCX with Java

I need to use DOCX files (actually the XML contained in them) in a Java software I'm currently developing, but some people in my company still use the DOC format.

Do you know if there is a way to convert a DOC file to the DOCX format using Java ? I know it's possible using C#, but that's not an option

I googled it, but nothing came up...

Thanks

Use newer versions of jars jodconverter-core-4.2.2.jar and jodconverter-local-4.2.2.jar

String inputFile = "*.doc";
String outputFile = "*.docx";

LocalOfficeManager localOfficeManager = LocalOfficeManager.builder()
            .install()
            .officeHome(getDefaultOfficeHome()) //your path to openoffice
            .build();

  try {
      localOfficeManager.start();
      final DocumentFormat format
              = DocumentFormat.builder()
                      .from(DefaultDocumentFormatRegistry.DOCX)
                      .build();

      LocalConverter
              .make()
              .convert(new FileInputStream(new File(inputFile)))
              .as(DefaultDocumentFormatRegistry.getFormatByMediaType("application/msword"))
              .to(new File(outputFile))
              .as(format)
              .execute();

  } catch (OfficeException ex) {
      Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
  } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
      Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
  } finally {
      OfficeUtils.stopQuietly(localOfficeManager);
  }
