I'd say there isn't an easy way because of various reasons: Java
security and extensible classloading are two that leap into mind. One
solution (for future consideration) might be to create a Java class url
convention and retrieve the DTD as a resource relative to the Class.

Something like:
   class://com.blah.Classname/myDTD.dtd

So you could do something like:
   Class.forName("com.blah.Classname").getResourceAsStream("myDTD.dtd");
