Sure. No Problem. The issue is a bit more involved. You're right, the user classes have precedence over the Flink classpath. So your classes were probably loaded fine. However, the user code also calls Flink code which can use a library version different from the job jar library. And boom, it crashes because the job jar library has been loaded previously :)
The only way we could circumvent this problem would be to explicitly set a different classloader and load Flink internal classes via reflection. I think the performance penalty for this would be way too high.
