The problem with installing a jar in lib/ext is that it becomes a library extension. Library extensions are always put at the front of the classpath. Effectively this means that you cannot run multiple versions of the same library on one system, since the jars in the library extension directory are always used in lieu of those specified on the command-line.
If you put a jar in lib/ext then you can call it with "java com.mypackage.MainClass", there is no need to specify the jar's location or the jar itself. One suggestion for the script name is jspider.
