On irc we debugged this a little more. The main problem is that
checkstyle has a ErrorHandler that just throws the exception when it
gets a warnings. So on the one hand it does get what it asks for. On the
other hand the warnings are a bit pedantic since in this case the URI is
absolute it seems.

Removing these two warnings made Checkstyle work just fine:

In SAXDriver.java (648)
            if (baseURI == null) {
                warn ("No base URI; hope this SYSTEM id is absolute: "
                        + systemId);
                return new URL (systemId).toString ();

In XmlParser.java (2811)
            if (ids [2] == null)
                handler.warn ("No base URI; hope URI is absolute: "
                        + ids [1]);

It seems to make sense to actually test whether the System id or base
URI is actually a absolute URI and then not emit the warning.

Cheers,

Mark
