I think so ... all arch independent files should be placed beneath
/usr/share ... so even the arch independent .jar files.

... another thing ... please provide a -dbg package with debug symbols
too ... its important in order to effectively process crashes. See
the firefox, thunderbird and xulrunner packages to see how to do this.

Its always a pita to point people to download a -dbg enabled package
in order to provide useful information ... not to mention that its a
waste of time to prepare such a package once an incident needs to be
debugged which you cannot reproduce on your own.
