Since this JAR file is not in your classpath, then it doesn't get 
picked up.  

What is in this jar file?  Is it a single .py file (or even a handful)
or does it have code as well?

If it's just a .py file, you could:

put it in your ~/.metapps/DefaultIdv directory and call it default.py.
This will automatically read it in.

If it's several .py files, you could put them in the ~/.metapps/DefaultIdv 
directory and modify the idv.rbi file there to add in the list of 
files to the section:

  <!-- Python libraries   -->
  <resources name="application.resource.jython">
  </resources>

e.g.

  <!-- Python libraries   -->
  <resources name="application.resource.jython">
     <resource location="%USERPATH%/file1.py"/>
     <resource location="%USERPATH%/file2.py"/>
     <resource location="%USERPATH%/file3.py"/>
  </resources>

If there is code in there, then could you send me the JAR file and
I can figure out how to do what you want?

Thanks.

Don
