I found that out today <hides head in shame/>
If you hunt around the most recent stylesheet sets, directory called extensions,
you will find a suite of .jar files.
Add these to your classpath (I put them in front of saxon622.jar, just in case).
then hey presto java finds them, and you don't need to go on line!

go look on the latest docbook stylesheet homepage.
All that .... stuff about relating versions to extensions/xyz 
(I used extensions/saxon61.jar) actually means something after all
(I thought it was a parameter to the stylesheet!).
