FWIW, I would generalize the ClassLoader a bit so that it treats the
JARs uniformly. For instance, always search for classes in the JARs in
order alphabetically by JAR file name (but not path). That way, you can
name your JARs like "1_log4j.jar" and "2_other_log4j.jar" or whatever.

It wasn't entirely clear how you implemented your ClassLoader but it
sounded like it might be /very/ specific to your exact requirements,
today. Doing something like alphabetical resolution by file name might
be re-usable in some other insane environment.
