Dependency management

[Brian De Pradine <PR...@uk.ibm.com>]

Hello all,

Is there a way to configure maven2 so that it loads classes from a 
dependency that I specify rather than from the JVM? I guess that I need to 
configure the class path so that my library is located in front of the 
libraries from the JVM.

Cheers

If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, where will you 
find the time to do it again?

could you explain which classes you'd want to load from a dependency rather
than
the JVM - and also explain why you want to do this? (there may be a better
solution)

the core JVM libraries are supplied from the boot classloader, which all
classloaders
delegate to in the normal parent delegation model, so if you want to make
sure you
override the JVM libraries you'd normally use -Xbootclasspath/p:...

(JVM libraries are separate from application libraries, which use the normal
classpath)
