It sounds like the entity resolver (or some such, my xml terminology isn't the best) is only looking in the file system. From my understanding there is a way to implement custom entity resolvers, and I think even some open source ones that will load from classpath.... I think this is what you'd need to do.
Alternatively, you might look at the Spring support for OJB which should allow you to configure a bean with the datasource configuration and then propogate that where needed.

Without going into the re-use issue I can just report that there is no problem placing the different repository*.xml files in a JAR. Just make sure the DTD is there to make XML-validation possible.
The files are loaded without path so place the in the root of your JAR.
Am I missing something here? Can anybody give me a hint how to successful load the repository.xml from a jar-file?
I have all repository parts in the root (default-package) of my jar-file.
