Yes, this is a safe place to put such a customization if you want it to be part of more than one of your webapplications (if it is just one webapplication that will be using it, just place it in that webapplications src/main/java directory). You will do the following:
1.) Create an "api" directory 2.) create a "api/pom.xml" that has a artifactId, groupId and version that is the same as your current dspace version. 3.) make sure it is also dependent on org.dspace:dspace-api:<version> 4.) put you code in api/src/main/java 5.) add the api directory to the modules/pom.xml as both a module and a dependency when you now build, the api will be included into the modules list for modules being built and the dependency will make sure it shows up in you WEB-INF/lib of your compiled webapplications. Finally, if you want your project to show up in the [dspace.dir]/lib, you'll want to also add the dependency to the dspace/pom.xml Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you get hung up on any of this.
