You possibly could get around it like that - I would think though that
it would be a rather flaky solution and would advise against something
that complex though.

Guice should have nothing to do with your classloader(s) during
testing, Guice only does DI and it is the DI pattern that makes your
tests simpler. After all, the point is to have tests that are
completely isolated from each other and do not share state.
