This would indeed be quite useful. In JBuilder you can set directories 
that are searched for *.library files. Such a library file looks like 
the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<library>
   <!--JBuilder Library Definition File-->
   <fullname>Xalan</fullname>
   <class>
     <path>[../enfinity/jdk/jre/lib/ext/xalan-2.0.1-bsf.jar]</path>
     <path>[../enfinity/jdk/jre/lib/ext/xalan-2.0.1-xalan.jar]</path>
     <path>[../enfinity/jdk/jre/lib/ext/xalan-2.0.1-xerces.jar]</path>
   </class>
</library>

Just to give an idea on how this could be implemented ...
