Yes, this should work provided you invoke jcc with --shared when building
your modules.
I just verified this worked by using PyLucene and PyPDFBox together, both
built with --shared.
(Note that with a recent JCC, you no longer need to pass the classpath to
initVM(), the parameter is defaulted to the module's CLASSPATH variable):

The vmargs='-Djava.awt.headless=true' parameter to the first initVM() is
required by pdfbox. The first initVM() call starts and initializes the Java
VM, the second one just updates its classpath and cannot change or set
vmargs.
Andi..
