It's nice to know where ALL of the jar files live. Having to determine if a jar is native or not and determine whether to look in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, or /usr/share/java seems a bit annoying. If you look at it from the java side, a developer will put the jar file with all of their other jars. Then put the library in the platform specific location. So putting the jars in /usr/share/java really fits inline with this. Sorry, just offering my 2 cents as a user :) /me didn't realize there was already policy to do the contrary, I would've spoke up then.
