Allow for MODULEPATH to effect the -mp standalone.sh/standalone.bat argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AS7-1646
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1646
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Modules
    Affects Versions: 7.0.1.Final, 7.0.0.Final
            Reporter: Scott Stark
            Assignee: Scott Stark


If one tries to override the bootstrap module path by providing a MODULEPATH environment variable, it is never consulted since the -mp argument set by the standalone.sh script is simply used as the value for the org.jboss.modules.Main module.path system property, overriding any existing value, and precluding any use of the MODULEPATH environment variable. There should be a way to set the module path used via a setting in the standalone.conf/standalone.conf.bat. The simplest would be to look for MODULEPATH and if not set, default to the current $JBOSS_HOME/modules value passed in as the -mp argument value:
