I just wanted to mention that there is no such cache, restarting the 
application will result in the new jar being loaded.

The problem is most likely the one that George mentioned. When you 
re-create the jar, make sure that in the 'META-INF/services' folder from 
within the .jar the appropriate factory class is specified (use a ZIP 
archive tool like 7-zip to check).

Adrian
