placement of jars in the directory structure of jdk
- Thread starter 25884
- Start date
The jars in the j2sdk1.4.2/lib directory provide the extra functionality of the java development environment - such as the java compiler. The jre/lib folder contains the non-developer runtime jars.

jre/lib/ext
is used for external jars - third party jars like oracle, apache, and other stuff.
You don't need to specify lib/ext in the classpath.
- So if you produce a standalone jar, use it explicitly.
- If you need multiple jars, but only seldom, use the classpath.
- If you have a jar which you use often, put it into lib/ext.
