I have read a lot about Java classloaders, but so far I have failed to find an answer for this simple question:
I have two versions of com.abc.Hello.class in jars v1.jar and v2.jar. I want to use both in my application. What is the simplest way of doing this ?
I don't expect to be that simple, but something along these lines would be awesome :
Classloader myClassLoader = [magic that includes v1.jar and ignores v2.jar]
Hello hello = myclassLoader.load[com.abc.Hello]
And in a different class :
Classloader myClassLoader = [magic that includes v2.jar and ignores v1.jar]
Hello hello = myclassLoader.load[com.abc.Hello]
I would like to avoid using OSGi.
