During the discussion for Junit (LSARC/2008/633), /usr/share/lib/java was identified as the location for jar files used by multiple applications (ie. one common location, instead of many project specific locations). An opinion was proposed, but I lost track of that. >> Can more than one application use the jar files? > Yes, more than one application can use the jar files.
