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

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