Greetings Ghansham, Yes, you can convert NcML to a netCDF file using netCDF-Java. See http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ncml/ for more details (look for "Using NcML to create a NetCDF-3 file"). The link above uses ucar.nc2.FileWriter, which is deprecated, but should still work if you are looking for something quick. That said, I would recommend using ucar.nc2.FileWriter2 (www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/v4.3/javadoc/ucar/nc2/FileWriter2.html) and, if you have the C library of netCDF installed, you can directly write out a netCDF-4 file, thus skipping the conversion using NCO. See the first link for more info on the structure of NcML.
