How to put a dependency in the classpath BEFORE jre.jar?

[Markus Karg]

I have a dependency on javaee.jar, which provides newer versions for
classes found in JRE's jre.jar (particularly the @Resource annotation).
But javaee.jar is always appended to the classpath, while to be able to
load the newer version, I need to PREFIX it before jre.jar instead. How
can I configure this in the POM?
