I came across a situation in which i have two Class Files of the same name in different JARs but with some methods similar and other methods entirely different , these two JARS are required for the same Project with different Modules and i want to access the one which is compatible with my Code and Module,The other Module obviously dont want this Class file but requires other Classes,now the issue is you  have both the jars in CLASSPATH.How will you make sure you are pointing to the correct Class files in this situation, you need the Class Files from one JAR which has your updated method for a new functionality, You may experience the same issue while organizing imports or resolving a Java component.

I have removed the duplicate entry and deployed the application and everything working fine. ....... <module>         <web>  ...
