I think you want: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
1.6.0/Home/lib/ext

This is correct for OS X version 10.5. It will change for other
versions. For instance, Java 1.6 is not supported on OS X 10.4.

Hope this answers you question.

versions. For instance, Java 1.6 is not supported on OS X 10.4.

For this very reason, I'd be wary of encouraging the user to pollute
the System extension directories. Note that Mac OS constructs
java.ext.dirs as a list of directories [1]. If adding resources in this
way is appropriate, consider recommending the user's extension
directory (first) or the general extension directory (second). The
user's directory may have to be created [2]:

~/Library/Java/Extensions:
/Library/Java/Extensions:
/System/Library/Java/Extensions:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/[3]/Home/lib/ext
