Jars with same name of class file and with same package structure

I have two jars A.jar and B.jar and both have a class say test with package com.source,

I know i can get hold of test from A.jar if A.jar comes first in the class path.

I am looking for the way, to get access of test from B.jar if I don't have any control in modifying class path. So basically, what all can be done to access test from B.jar without removing A.jar?

You can use URLClassLoader and give the exact path to your jar file.

    URL myURL = new URL("jar:file:" +jarfilepath+"!/");
    URL[] urls =  new URL[]{myURL};
    URLClassLoader cl = URLClassLoader.newInstance(urls);
    Class c = cl.loadClass(classname);
