How do I avoid JAR Collision with multiple JDBC drivers in Eclipse on connect?

My code is calling two different somewhat obscure JDBC connections. These JARS are related to Jethro and Impala, but I do not think it matters for this question. If I add the external JAR for Jethro alone it works. Same for Impala. However, if I add both the Jethro and Impala external jars I seem to get a collision. I want to be able to call either JDBC library in the same program space. The following exception occurs:

This got fixed. Essentially I did not have all the dependent JAR's for Impala. I thought that would not matter as I was calling Jethro. It did matter.

Adding the following jars did make it work. Score one for Maven. If I used Maven this would not have happened. Here are the dependent JARS's for posterity sake:

  • libfb303
  • libthrift
  • log4j
  • TCLIServiceClient
