Drop them in /Library/Java/Extensions. All versions of Java installed on the system will see them and be able to use them.

Hmm, not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but adding jars to /Library/Java/Extensions or ~/Library/Java/Extensions makes them available.

What I do is use maven with Eclipse to pull in third party packages to my projects individually, rather than put them into the Extensions directories.

Edit: so close, but at least I mentioned the individual account's Extensions directory ...
