IMHO, placing all the jars from disparate projects into a single directory
produces a mess. Pop quiz: where does optional.jar come from? That was an
easy one, eh? How about mail.jar? roles.jar? utils.jar? runtime.jar?
These are real names actually in use.
A better approach is to organize the jars into directories. The names of
those directories can contain version information, etc. And separate
README and LICENSE files...
