Hi. I have a question regarding the recommended way to override installed
plugin jars with local copies.
The situation I've found myself in is a requirement to use backlevel jars
for a particular plugin project. I have the jars in hand, but do not want
to install as per regular feature update, for fear of backleveling the
dependencies of some other plugins. What I require is for my plugin, and
mine alone, to use these backleveled jars. I added them to my plugin,
identified them as runtime jars for my project, etc. but it seems the
installed versions are still being used. Perhaps this is caused by my
immediate dependencies having dependencies on the installed versions ...
ie. indirectly triggering load.
Anybody have any suggestions on best practices here? I'm looking for the
safest way for my plugin to leverage these jars, without jeopardizing the
existing plugin stack.
thanks

It should be but keep in mind that any dependencies will get resolved
befor your runtime classpath is loaded (afaik).

I haven't checked it but it should be since you can specify the order of
the dependencies.

Keep us updated how it works out.
