What you write is an indication that we might need explicit
tests regarding classpath order and interaction of multiple jars in
the user classpath in a controlled manner.
agreed. I'd like to see classpath order and jar interaction tests
considered as part of the controlled environment if the testing
framework changes. I'd like to trade in our less than optimal ability
to test these combinations with something better, but not removed all
together since we have seen bugs and even regressions in this area in
the past.
