Hmmm, could you post some sample data, eg the odd 15 - 30 lines?
While using java to do things isnt the wrong way, it may not necessarily be the best way. There're many native commands in Linux/Cygwin, eg sed, tr, awk etc which does things really well. Since you mentioned it's a log file, the format should be consistent, so these commands will likely to get the job done faster than any programming languages can.
