Mark,

If the application needs to run on the same machine as the DB server (not a 
great idea) I would just install the latest JDK or JRE under /usr/local and let 
the developers customize as needed. Its probably not a good idea to modify the 
Oracle provided JRE.

That said, usually a well packaged Java application will have copies of 
whatever libraries (jars) it needs and set an appropriate CLASSPATH so it can 
find them. Usually you do not need to modify the JDK/JRE installation.
