Java packaging standards - jdbc?

Hello all.
There are few packages that do use "all available" jdbc drivers.
eg. ireport and dbvis out at aur.
I would like to update java packaging standards so that jdbc packages will use common folder /usr/share/java/jdbc.
That would allow all the software that needs "all drivers" to use them conveniently.
One could setup classpath in a way like find  /usr/share/java/jdbc -name \*.jar in application startup script.
How do you feel about this ?
