The point I'm trying to make is the spec says we need to support adding extensions and a lame, yet valid, implementation is "copy them into your java vm extensions directory". From what I have seen, this is what the RI does.

Now before anyone gets excited, I agree that we should support as envisioned by the spec one day, but since almost no one uses this, we should prioritize this below all the stuff that is actually required (and the stuff people normally use).

Body:
8.2 says this is a required feature and applications do make use of it. Further, most users are familiar with adding extensions by copying jars into a directory under the appserver rather than into a JDK shared with other applications. What is not required is dynamic installation during deployment or at runtime.
