This is a win on the OS distribution side as well as you manage JARs 
similarly to shared-libraries and share these jar binaries between 
multiple jboss instances that may or may not have uniform jars.  You 
also interact with them similarly to shared libraries in that you'd have 
a jboss-modules equivalent to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in which you can set a 
hierarchy of local and remote repositories....Works seemlessy 
cross-platform too.

Build, runtime, and OS all using the same directory structure to manage 
jars.
