Why? That’s ancient! Have you tested that the newer driver does not work?

Technically, yes. You can load each driver in a separate classloader. You may wish to look into a container solution
likeOSGI if you go this path.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Diagnosing problems when multiple class loaders have the same classes loaded but different
versionswill quickly melt your brain into a puddle of mush.
