E.g. because my EJBs use util classes, which are required on the rich client 
(and in the feature possibly on the web app as well). Right now, I've to add 
the util classes to the ejb.jar - otherwise I get ClassNotFoundExeptions when 
invoking the beans.

OK, perhaps it might work to add a class-path entry into the metainfo and add 
all the extension description stuff (simply adding it to the application.xml as 
module does not work), but why should it be so complicated? It is much easier, 
when the stuff in lib gets picked up automatically,
anlog as more or less good startup files for rich clients already do,  which 
avoid s a lot of typing, possible typos, maintainance overhead (e.g. when the 
version and thus name of a jar changes,
etc.) .

Just in case, here an example, what I mean wrt. to automatic pickup for RCs:
# add in the dependency .jar files
  | DIRLIBS=${BASE_DIR}/lib/*.jar
  | LOCAL_CLASSPATH=""
  | for i in $DIRLIBS ; do
  |     # if the directory is empty, then it will return the input string
  |     # this is stupid, so case for it
  |     if [ "$i" != "${DIRLIBS}" ] ; then
  |         if [ -z "LOCAL_CLASSPATH" ]; then
  |             LOCAL_CLASSPATH=$i
  |         else
  |             LOCAL_CLASSPATH="$i":$LOCAL_CLASSPATH
  |         fi
  |     fi
  | done

So I can just add/remove/replace any lib without the need to adjust anything 
wrt. "deployment"/startup ...
