Installation of THAT particular jar is recommended in WEB-INF/lib, so it loads at the same time as Solr itself. Pretty much any other extra jar (analysis components, DIH, JDBC driver, etc) can be placed in $SOLR_HOME/lib and this location will be processed exactly once during Solr startup, with the jars available to every core. No solrconfig.xml <lib> configuration is necessary for jars in this location to load. This is the way that I recommend dealing with jars other than JTS. For cleaner version control on my system, I create $SOLR_HOME/lib as a symlink to another directory that I create myself -- $INSTALL_DIR/solrlib ... that way, all binary stuff like jars is in the *program* version control location, not the *data* location.
