What to do with this .jar?

I'm building an app which includes extentions for numerous interpreters. I have successfully managed to pkg the ruby/tcl/python/etc stuff but the java has be stumped. These are the install instructions:

After MapServer is configured and compiled, change directory to the Java
mapscript location and execute::
$ cd mapscript/java
$ make
$ make test
Copy the shared libmapscript.so and mapscript.jar to the appropriate location.

It builds fine but what its "the appropriate location"?

All the interpreters have been installed to /usr/lib/<interpreter> so far - hints please

Blimey, they are rather brief instructions! I expect the "appropriate place" is somewhat subjective. You can put jars anyway just so long as the path is in Java's classpath. In Arch, the appropriate place according to Dusty's Java guidelines are /usr/share/java and within you create a dir per app and place all the jars.

what about the .so file? Is that going to go in the same place? Does that sound "normal"?

Well, the topic was called "What to do with this .jar?", so I thought you were only asking about the jar!

I dunno about the .so. It's not Java related, per se. That presumably goes with all the other .so files.
