Howdy, You can search the archives on the use of symlinks or the tldScanJar exception for more information: this comes up a lot.
What I suggest is to stick with your current system: have a central location for your tools, preferably under version control, and copy jars out of it into the WEB-INF/lib directories when deploying (this copy is done by an Ant script I assume). Yes, this means two hard copies rather than a link, but it keeps your webapp self-contained and helps ensure portability for platforms/servers that don't support symbolic links.
