Thak you for the tip! I will optionally upgrade - but
I would prefer to use at least milestone release in my software,
I do not like CVS snapshots a lot. ;)

Meantime I solved the problem with the Jython 2.0 relase:
Step 1: modify the property in the reistry file (my.lib): 
---sample---
python.packages.paths = my.lib, java.class.path, sun.boot.class.path
python.packages.directories = java.ext.dirs
---END---

Step 2 run JVM with proper settings:
java -cp ... -Dpython.home=<path to reg. file> -Dmy.lib=<path to jar>

It works and jython finds the classes in your custom JAR file.
