That is a very good point. You could also use lib/ext as well and set
the property java.ext.dirs property accordingly

There is also an issue on windows of a classpath size. I know i have

I think most projects of any size, commercial or open source, have
moved away from using raw CLASSPATH and use custom classloading.
For example, a common technique is to have a "lib" directory where all
files get added into a single classloader - not perfect especially
when you may need multiple versions of a library but it works for many
applications.
There are also things like the uberjar project at Codehaus for
bundling things together.
