That is exactly what the "tuscany.installDir" system property is -
just as a Java property not a environment variable as they are not
portable.
Dependencies are more complex than stuffing everything in one
directory (due to the hierarchical nature of the recursive model) but
we have the ArtifactRepository to handle that e.g. using the Maven
repo structure.
Extensions already work as you suggest - you place the composite jar
in the "extension" directory. Their dependencies are found by the
ArtifactRepository.

Hi,
I was wonder if something like TUSCANY_HOME and then all other
directories
relative to this would make sense. So there will be a 'lib' subdir
which
will have all dependent stuff either as jars or classes expanded
according
to their package directory structure. Similarly there could be a
'extensions' directory which could contain all the stuff related to
tuscany
extensions.

The quick answer is yes if it knows how to resolve the location of
the extension directory. Given the directory and classloader
structures in our maven build where would that be?
I also have a much longer answer to this that I'm working on :-)
