That's not a good parallel, though, because there's always only one
java.lang.System class in any given Java installation (as far as I
know) -- on the other hand, if I install a future version of both
IBM's XML4J and James Clark's XP (for example) into the same Java
installation, then I would get two different versions of
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory and whichever happens to be first
on the classpath will always get hit.
All the best,
David
