Allow me to vehemently disagree with that statement. /Library/Java/ Extensions is usually a terrible spot for random individual jars. This is for extensions to the core Java API, things like JDBC drivers and javax. classes. Putting random jars in here opens you to problem with class loader security issues. Bill Bumgarner's always entertains comments on this: http://bbum.pycs.net/2002/03/06.html

Better places are:
1. /Library/WebObjects/Extensions
2. A framework
3. AppName.woa/Contents/Extensions

Jars in (2) and (3) are picked up automatically by the WO bootstrap class.
