Put the directory containing the XML in the runtime classpath, then use className.Class.getResourceAsStream() to get an InputStream containing the XML.

I'd generate a separate resources folder, right-click it and select Build Path > Use as Source Folder. That way it's on the class path, but you're not mixing it with your Java source files
