Review comment:
Sorry, but I didn't get your note. `libDirectory` here is a property of
EAR module. It's not the target location where the shared libraries of skinny
EAR module are moved (refer to `defaultLibBundleDir` option of plugin
configuration). It's the source location inside EAR module from which shared
libraries (libraries of EAR module which are among EAR dependencies) are moved.
`libDirectory` has default value depending on type of EAR module, so it's
not always `null`. The need of `libDirectory` property comes from modules with
non-standard layout. For example, JBoss Packaging Packaging Maven Plugin can
package SAR putting libraries into a user defined directory of SAR (i.e. not
into the default root of SAR).
