In 1.3 there is extension mechanism for jar files
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/extensions/index.html
This simply means you put jar files into
jre/lib/ext
jre/lib/<arch> # for JNI binaries

In practice many java programs/libraries instruct to set CLASSPATH or
have it in their wrapper. In larger use, say you use about 20 jar
libraries
from different vendors, using the CLASSPATH becomes quite unusable.
I have get my java subsystem on my debian quite well working condition.
I put library-jars into jre/lib/ext and run program-jar files as
executable.
Running jar as executable you have to set binfmt_misc for jar magic and
add Main-Class: into jar manifest.
