You probably need to set it before you construct the SAXBuilder. Set 
it directly on the XMLReader, not through JDOM.

Xerces also has a couple of other features that might help:

http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd
http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-dtd-grammar

Try setting both of these to false; again, before you give the 
XMLReader to JDOM.
