If I understand the problem well, this is equivalent to provide endorsed libraries at runtime. I have found this resource, that looks a bit dated, but it may work. Not sure if Maven 3 offers a better solution

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?
