Support modification of java.class.path entries order #36

Open liontiger23 opened 6 years ago

Currently dependencies are added to the java.class.path in a strict order, most notably: import dependencies go before external dependencies. This prevents the ability of users to package their config files alongside the application and have changes in them take effect without explicitly removing these configs from .jar resources (because JVM will search java.class.path for these resources and will find unchangeable configs in executable, before the configs in package).

I think that the order in dependencies of jet plugin should be respected in java.class.path. This way reordering dependencies in jet plugin will take affect on java.class.path directly

Yes, I think this will be enough to resolve the issue.
