Currently the java libraries I package are in the form of:
/usr/share/java/foo-version.jar /usr/share/java/foo.jar -> foo-version.jar
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....).
