I just tried it doing getResource and toExternalForm which produces the 
following string:
jar:file:/D:/java/workspaces/drools/target/drools-java-2.0-beta-18.jar!/META-INF/java.xsd 
jar:file:/D:/java/workspaces/drools/target/drools-python-2.0-beta-18.jar!/META-INF/python.xsd 
jar:file:/D:/java/workspaces/drools/target/drools-groovy-2.0-beta-18.jar!/META-INF/groovy.xsd 
jar:file:/D:/java/workspaces/drools/target/drools-base-2.0-beta-18.jar!/META-INF/rules.xsd

I do this using the following code:
URL java = cl.getResource( "META-INF/java.xsd" );
URL python = cl.getResource( "META-INF/python.xsd" );
URL groovy = cl.getResource( "META-INF/groovy.xsd" );
URL rules = cl.getResource( "META-INF/rules.xsd" );
String url = "";

if ( java != null ) url = url + java.toExternalForm() + " ";
if ( python != null ) url = url + python.toExternalForm() + " ";
if ( groovy != null ) url = url + groovy.toExternalForm() + " ";
if ( rules != null ) url = url + rules.toExternalForm();

parser.setProperty( JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA );
parser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation", 
url);

But now I get the following error, like its not finding the xsds at all:
 (jar:file:/D:/java/workspaces/drools/drools-examples/target/drools-examples-2.0-beta-18.jar!/org/drools/examples/fibonacci/fibonacci.java.drl:5,57) 
: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'rule-set'.
