Shared Libraries in Websphere 8.5.5

Is there any provision to add all the jars under Websphere lib folder to shared libraries one which I had created? Do I need to specify each and every jar in the shared library text area or is it enough to provide it as below?

C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\Websphere\Appserver\lib

Will this statement keep all jars available in the lib folder in the classpath?

Adding jars to the WebSphere Application Server lib directory is not a good idea, see Best Practice for using common application files. You would typically create shared libraries for these jars and associate them with your applications as described at the IBM Knowledge Center topic Creating shared libraries.
