John,

If you want the external jars to behave as if they were in WEB-INF/lib,
then you can specify them as extraClassPath using a context xml file. See
this doco here:
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-classloading.html#=
adding-extra-classpaths

If you want them to act as being on the container's classpath, then you
were on the right track in putting them in lib/ext. If you say it "didn't
work", please describe what you mean by that. Perhaps you meant that they
contain annotations and they weren't scanned? In that case, read the
following doc which describes how to ensure that jars that are on the
containers classpath are scanned:
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-webapps.html=
#webapp-context-attributes
