There's a naming convention for where modules should be placed on the classpath. If you can follow the naming convention, then there's no need to contribute the modules.
Modules should be placed in the folder META-INF/modules on the classpath. If your module name is "foo/bar" then the you will likely store it in your workspace as src/main/resources/META-INF/modules/foo/bar.js Soon, we'll support on-the-fly compilation from CoffeeScript to JavaScript. This will be an optional feature, so the t5/core modules are compiled at build time (which is a valid, but somewhat unwieldy, option). Also, there's a shift in 5.4 from allowing assets (which is to say, server-side resources that can be downloaded to the client) all over the place to being in a specific place: META-INF/assets/<libname>. By 5.5 or 5.6, assets will only be allowed in META-INF/assets/, all other locations will be disallowed (sealing up a possible security hole, and simplifying a chunk of the framework's routing logic for assets). If you do make a contribution to the ModuleManager service, that's an override. Overrides ARE allowed to be anywhere on the classpath. Since we don't know at page construction time which modules will be needed by the page (especially true given all the possibilities of partial page renders via Ajax requests), the RequireJS configuration block includes details for all overrides. Given that you are contributing shims, you will likely have to live with the contributions, unless you can rewrite your shims into proper modules.
