The Spring framework's PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver is really awesome for these things:

private Resource[] getXMLResources() throws IOException
{
    ClassLoader classLoader = MethodHandles.lookup().getClass().getClassLoader();
    PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver resolver = new PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver(classLoader);

    return resolver.getResources("classpath:x/y/z/*.xml");
}

Maven dependency:

    org.springframework
    spring-core
