Q:

Web 8 Custom Deployer - location for jar file

I've created a Custom Deployer for Web 8 and have built a custom .jar file.  I've added it to the cd_storage config file and want to know which folder I should deploy the .jar to:

C:\SDL\Web\deployer\lib
C:\SDL\Web\deployer\services\deployer-service

A:

You can indeed place it into any subfolder within the  services folder. I recommend creating a new folder called deployer-extensions or similar in order that it makes upgrading easier.
You will need to reinstall the service if you want the new folder to be added to the class path. 

A:

As all of the specific deployer classes (Processor, ComponentDeployer, etc.) remain in the micro-service folder (and still are  old fashioned "com.tridion..."); I would put it in there, but I think that it doesn't mind as some of the classes used by the deployer-service, are located in the lib folder.
