[wildfly-dev] Are standalone/lib and standalone/lib/ext folders (still) relevant?

standalone/lib/ext is where extension jars are loaded from.

Basically if a deployment contains an Extension-List entry in MANIFEST.MF
then this is one of the places that is searched
(see org.jboss.as.server.moduleservice.ExtensionIndexService for details).

The whole extension-index thing is pretty yuck, and we would always
recommend you use static modules instead, but this is a standard thing and
we are required by the EE platform spec to support it.
