Fedora puts Java stuff in /usr/java. I've added the /usr/lava/jarlib 
directory and put my own and third party jarfiles in it. 

Since this puts an application's main jarfile and its supporting jarfiles 
in a simple side-by-side relationship, it means that manifests in 
application jarfiles should work anywhere provided only that they use 
relative pathnames.
