The launcher.cfg should be setting the classpath.

➜  knox git:(master) git grep -F ext/ | grep -F launcher
gateway-adapter/src/main/resources/META-INF/launcher.cfg:class.path =
../lib/*.jar;../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar
gateway-demo-ldap-launcher/src/main/resources/META-INF/launcher.cfg:class.path
= ../lib/*.jar;../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar
gateway-server-launcher/src/main/resources/META-INF/launcher.cfg:class.path
= ../conf;../lib/*.jar;../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar
gateway-shell-launcher/src/main/resources/META-INF/launcher.cfg:class.path
= ../lib/*.jar;../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar
knox-cli-launcher/src/main/resources/META-INF/launcher.cfg:class.path =
../lib/*.jar;../dep/*.jar;../ext;../ext/*.jar
