I wrap these JAR's usually in a very primitive Framework.
i just create a folder which ends with ".framework" and some dirs

MyNameForThisFramework.framework/Resources/Java/iText.jar
and put the whole stuff into
/Library/Frameworks/
I then add the Framework to my app as i do with all other
frameworks. this
way I also know what to deliver for deployment. is this a valid
solution,
too?
Yes, that is valid and I use this too, though I create an Xcode or
WOLips project so that the framework is built automatically. If I
only need the jar and nothing else I tend to use the WebObject's
Extensions directory. When I am extending classes from the jar or
adding related code, I use tend to use the framework approach.
Either one will avoid the class loader issue with the Java Extensions
directory.

Thanks for the example!
I would recommend /Library/WebObjects/Extensions as being generally a
safer place for third party jars used with WebObjects. Putting them
in /Library/Java/Extensions can lead to class loader "issues" with
security when classes from one loader try to instantiate those loaded
in a later loader. This results in the dreaded ClassDefNotFound
exception. I keep /Library/Java/Extensions for JDBC extensions and
other, similar additions to the core Java API.
