I have some WAR-files that use common libraries. Is there any way

Right now I see two variants to do it
1) To put wars in one ear file.
If you put the libraries in the *.war/WEB-INF/lib, this will not get
the libraries in the same classloader. If you put them in the ear
somewhere and use manifest classpaths in the wars to pick them up,
they still won't be in the same classloader: each will get into the
appropriate web app classloader.
2) Put common libraries into geronimo libraries repository.
I think that's a good idea because it makes your web apps smaller,
but it wont get the jars into the same classloader: each web app will
load the jar in its own classloader. I would do this anyway, in
combination with:
3) You could make one web app the parent of the other and use
contextPriorityClassloading=false.
For (2) or (3) you will need geronimo plans: for (2), to add the
dependencies to the web app, for (3) to specify the "other" web app
as a parent/import.
Hope this helps

But I'm not sure this is going to work. Is there any special
configuration I should use for this variants? Is there any other
variant to do this?
Thanks
