If you have two jar with the same class, which one will be loaded depends on the order of the jars. You can also create your own class loader, and chain it to the parent class loader. Therefore your class loader will try to load the class, and if it fails, it will fall back to parent. Take a look at this one for example: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLClassLoader.html
