Looking forward to JDBC with Jenny, we're supposed to make sure we have C:\java\jr.jar in our classpath. I do. However, I do not have jr.jar directly in the C:\java directory. It's buried inside other directories.
Should I place a copy directly in C:\java, or can Jenny find it inside a sub-directory if I specify the path? From a housekeeping standpoint, is having duplicate locations for a jar file like this necessary, or does that just clutter things up?
If multiple apps are using jr.jar, is it better to put a copy in each app, or direct the apps to one central copy?

I think that for these assignments, it is best to put jr.jar in the lib dir of the directory you have the assignment in. See JavaRanch standards for directory structure.
Especially now that you have your new computer, Carol, with lots of disk space, a very small jar file like jr.jar won't be a problem.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
