Relevant information and nice discussion here:
groups.google.com/group/joomla-dev-cms/browse_thread/thread/1df8232b4edf60df?hl=en
specifically:
5) Since over 2 years, between teams cooperating with Community
Builder we have agreed to have a constant J_JQUERY_LOADED that CB and
other third party check to be not defined before loading and set to 1
after outputing the jquery base library include. Some developers check
for that, others don't. Not the most elegant solution, but easy enough
and works. It would be nice if there is no other mechanism agreed that
at least this constant be official

but beware that CB 1.x plugins need jquery 1.5.x, and that jquery 1.6+ are incompatible backwards
