This is the most sensible choice - it works well for /lib, /usr/lib
so it should would well for jars.

The other problem with just having a repository directory is that
java's versioning mechanism is at the jar level.  You can't ask
a class file for it's version, so I can see repositories becoming
a nightmare mixture of new, aging and old classfiles.  Old classes
may never get deleted from it?!?!? (OK if everything is a deb....).

cheers
