This is a bit of code I wrote for a project that had to do something similar. You'll have to test if it works, because RTF is relatively esoteric, and the webkit translator is hardly complete. But it often gets the job done.

I hope it works for you.

private static String useWebKitToConvertRtfToPlaintext(String rtf) throws IOException {
    StringReader rtfReader = new StringReader(rtf);
    JEditorPane p = new JEditorPane();
    p.setContentType("text/rtf");
    RTFEditorKit kitRtf = new RTFEditorKit();
    try {
        kitRtf.read(rtfReader, p.getDocument(), 0);
        EditorKit plainKit = p.getEditorKitForContentType("text/plain");

        Writer writer = new StringWriter();
        plainKit.write(writer, p.getDocument(), 0, p.getDocument().getLength());
        String out = writer.toString();
        return out;
    } catch (BadLocationException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return null;
}

thank you for your helping, unlucky me :( it output value "ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃBƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB ƒeƒXƒg‚Å‚·ЃB" It seems that incorrect encoding :( — Phong Nguyen, Oct 27 '15 at 08:14
