| == OverrideLibrary support for application classloader | ||

||
| The 25.0.0.10-beta release introduces a new type of library reference for configuring an application’s `<classloader/>`: the override library reference. The override library reference is similar to a private library reference because class instances remain unique to the application’s classloader. The key difference is the search order. With an override library reference, the library class path is searched before the application’s own class path, which allows the library path to override classes that are already included in the application. |

I preferred the original version of the opening sentence from the beta blog issue OpenLiberty/open-liberty#32778

The use of a : here after the <classloader/> element took me many reads to understand. I prefer some form of the original intro sentence.
