I want to install the apktool for android applications works.
Now it runs by type
Code: 
% java -jar apktool_2.3.1.jar
But i want to put apktool_2.3.1.jar into an another wide accessible directory, and make alias setenv apktool java -jar apktool_2.3.1.jar, which lead us to common use % apktool
What is the best path for placing .jar file?
 
You could use the
Code: 
pkg info -l pkg_name
to check which files are installed and where they are stored locally

Somewhere in your home directory if you'll be the only person on the server to use this. Otherwise somewhere in /usr/local but I would advice against using /usr/local/share/java/classes but instead use /usr/local/share/java, optionally another subdirectory.

See; the problem is that 'classes' is used for just that: Java libraries. This isn't a library, you won't be using this jar file on the classpath but mostly as a self-contained executable. So why risk creating confusion by placing it into a location which was meant for the classpath (or in other words: Java libraries)?
