accessing external JAR files

Can someone tell me how to access an external
JAR file? We have constructed a library and plan
to access this through Processing programs. After
some searching, I saw that one can create a "code"
file underneath the appropriate sketch; however,
is there a way to place the .jar in a more central
location (since the library is not specific to
one sketch). Placing the .jar in the usual Java
jre/lib/ext directory didn't work.
Also, when I did put the .jar file in a "code"
directory of the sketch, the Processing program
stopped working correctly, leading me to believe
that there is some sort of variable naming conflict?
I will be happy to email the .java file (which is
used to form the .jar file) to anyone that is
interested.

After some discussion with Ben and Casey,
this turned out to be our problem of trying
to use a Java "package" statement, without having
the appropriate sub-directory structure under
"code".
Still, I think we need to perhaps allow for
a global "code" directory for libraries and
jars, so that it isn't necessary to copy and
paste new "code" subdirectories every time that
a new sketch is created, which needs a common
external library.
