Here's my hack-y workaround.

I unpack the WSDL from the jar and write it to a file near the jar:

File wsdl = new File("../lib/service.wsdl");
InputStream source = getClass().getResource("resources/service.wsdl").openStream();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(wsdl);

byte[] buffer = new byte[512];
int read;
while((read = source.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
    out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}

Then point the service classes to file:../lib/service.wsdl.

This works, but I'd appreciate if anyone can show me a more elegant solution.
