No. (At least, not without some fancy custom class loader that can find the classes in the jars some other way).

You can have the 2 jars in the same directory (usually) then in the executable jar's manifest file, you can define the classpath there, which can refer to the 2nd jar by relative paths. Just look up some info on manifest files, cuz I never can remember the gory details.
