As a general principal you shouldn't put anything you don't have to
jre/lib/ext  - essentially this is for extensions such as jdbc20 and the
secure sockets stuff. Anything going in here has no security restrictions
and you're likely to end up with all sorts of classloading issues (the only
thing higher on the delegation hierarchy than jre/lib/ext is rt.jar),
