Providing the constructor of ValidatorResources with a null InputStream leads to a MalformedURLException,
which leads the user (trying to find his error) in a complete wrong direction. Perhaps returning a NullPointerException or
an IllegalArgumentException seems to be a better understandable reaction.

Thanks for reporting this - I've fixed this in validator (now throws an IllegalArgumentException indicating that the InputStream is null).

I also created an issue for this against Commons Digester (~~DIGESTER-111~~) - which also failed to check that the InputStream isn't null.
