Any where on your hardrive. Ussually people have a specially directory where
they store jars. Other have a lib directory in their project directory. There
is no a standard way

You have to add the postgresql-8.1dev-400.jdbc3.jar to your classpath. There
are several ways to do that.
* If you are compiling from the command prompt
javac -classpath .:/path/to/jdebc/jar Project.java      (on unix)
javac -classpath .;\path\to\jdebc\jar Project.java      (on windows)

* If you use a IDE, you have to consult your IDE documentation in order to add
the jdbc jar to your classpath.
