Olivier, The jars I'm talking about are things like the F5, Juniper, and VMware SDK's. We don't have license rights to put them on a web server because were not allowed to redistribute them. So this code will not be built by default for Apache CloudStack, but developers working on this code will still need some way to build them. I was thinking using systemPath was a way to address this, but was curious if you have a different approach that is better?
I do have one jar, libvirt, that could be put in apache extras. Once libvirt gets re-licensed I can put it in apache extras, but currently its GPL (or LGPL?) so I'd rather not put it there yet.
