How to get the right output. Java

This Java file is suppose to run and pull the information from the legoSets.XML and show me the output. Right now the output I am getting is sum-num only. it does not display any information of the other 3 i need to see. (name, year, num-parts) I have comment out set-num to see if i can get name to put out results but it still only shows set-num.

    ---Desired Output---
        <set-num>00-1</set-num>
        <name>WEETABIX CASTLE</name>
        <year>1970</year>
        <num-parts>471</num-parts>>

But My output shows only the set-num

    ---real output---
        1: 00-1
        2: 0011-2
        3: 0011-3
        4: 0012-1
        5: 0013-1

The answer to the question is this. The reason name never pull up the needed information is due to it being inform wrong. data needs to be replace with names. Ones that has been done it can search and retrieve the correct information, the same goes for year and num-parts, the data just needs to be replace.

Incorrect

ArrayList<String> names = handler.getnames();

            System.out.println("name List");
            System.out.println("----------");
            for (int i = 0; i < **data**.size(); i++) {
                String name = **data**.get(i);
                name = name.toUpperCase();
                System.out.println((i + 1) + ": " + name);
Correctly Inform

ArrayList<String> names = handler.getnames();

            System.out.println("name List");
            System.out.println("----------");
            for (int i = 0; i < **names**.size(); i++) {
                String name = **names**.get(i);
                name = name.toUpperCase();
                System.out.println((i + 1) + ": " + name);
