2 x the same class - Which will be loaded/used?

Hello Everybody,

a simple and short question:

One java class is in 2 places. Both places are part of the classpath.

Which of the classes will be used?

First come within the classpath? The class with the newer date?

JBoss Server 4.2.0.

Thank you for your help.

First in classpath usually wins. You can verify this adding the -verbose:class JVM option to the command line. This option causes the JVM to print the JAR file for each class loaded.
