Why? we are sign jars by ant script, during building exist.
So putting then into one or some "shared" folder(s) is more
maintainable, then put them into db.
In last case after rebuilding exist or after replacing old jars
by new, you must update them in the db too.

Example:
$EXIST_HOME/lib/* - for unsigned jars
$EXIST_HOME/lib-signed/* - for signed

so "lib" or "WEB-INF/lib" are used by eXist in different modes.
"lib-signed" for share jars via webstart/applets or any other purpose.
