>From the birt documentation page [1] : BIRT_VIEWER_SCRIPTLIB_DIR "Specifies the default location to place Jar files used by the script engine. These can be Jars used by script engine or jars containing event handlers written in Java. These Jars are appended to the classpath. If this setting is left blank the default value of webapp/scriptlib will be used."
So I'm not totally sure, but I think if we remove the variable then the birt engine would still create a directory but using the default location mentioned above. Maybe you can experiment by changing and/or removing the variable from web.xml and observe if other directories are created anywhere. I'm also not entirely sure how the jars are appended to the classpath (given that OFBiz manages the classpath through Gradle), maybe they mean at runtime by using a classloader or something like that? but if it is compile time, then I think OFBiz would take care of it by placing the jars in any lib directory.
