I tried the same thing and couldn't reproduce your error, so I believe
it might be the underlying implementation you're using that does not
support this ...
The problem seems to be that the underlying implementation tries to
create a URL directly from the path you supplied and seems to fail
because you are using a relative path, this relative path cannot be
resolved because the underlying implementation does not try to 'guess'
the base of the path.
I found it a little strange that I couldn't repeat your error, so I
did a little investigation and found that this specific error message
is only generated by the GNU Classpath implementation of java.net.URL.
So, the JDK and GNU Classpath's implementation don't seem to be
compatible. (this is a little worrying)
To fix this, you could try to use either a File, like this:
Document document = reader.read(new File("data/config/language.xml"));
Which will use the current user directory (user.dir) to resolve the path.
Or you could try to provide an absolute path?
Document document = reader.read("/whatever/data/config/language.xml"));
Or, looking at the code, you could just provide a protocol:
Document document = reader.read("file:data/config/language.xml"));
I hope this helped?

Edwin
