Agreed, but then why not just drop each jdom.jar in a separately named
directory?

I like to do:

/usr/local/java/jdom-b4/jdom.jar
/usr/local/java/jdom-b3/jdom.jar
/usr/local/java/jdom  ->  jdom-b4  (symbolic link to latest version)

(I know that symbolic links are harder to do in Windows, but there are
ways to get the same effect.)
