At first I thought you'd have to use the URIResolver but this one is
explicitly only about includes and document() so I don't think it will
affect the resolution of DOCTYPEs.

The only way you could do it with JAXP and not XMLUnit is likely by
setting the EntityResolver on a DocumentBuilder, load the stylesheet
using this and pass it into the transformation as a DOMSource.

In fact this should work with XMLUnit as well (using the control builder
that you have already configured to use your EntityResolver):

    Document myControlDocument = XMLUnit.buildControlDocument(myControlXML);
    Document myStyleSheet = XMLUnit.buildControlDocument(new File("src/test/resources/nodeRemover.xsl"));
    Transform myControlTransform = new Transform(new DOMSource(myControlDocument),
                                                 new DOMSource(myStyleSheet));
