Ultimately there should just be a repository that serves all artifact contents, be it library jars, server deployments, etc. Right now the problem is that the server install structure is a reflection of the repository. There should be a disconnect between the repository store, and what actually is getting pulled into the bootstrap classpath. The deployments should just have references to the package dependencies which are then resolved from the repository. In terms of the messiness of the directories, its mostly just an issue of needing to have client facing variations so that they know where to put libraries and deployments without worrying about how it affects the server class isolation as well as knowing what customization they have made.
