The above is not a viable solution, unless this is just a temporary
trial / test work. Consider that once your module is stabilized,
checked-in with these 3rd party dependents, how do we tell other
developers to use these 3rd party dependents? (Can't ask everyone to
use the mojo style 3rd party jar installation into local repo.)
Instead, your module's pom.xml should have mechanics to do this
silently. All it needs is, to add the external repository location, if
these external jars have a maven style repo. If they don't, then publish
them under one of our glassfish repos. (Remember: these jars need to be
QAed before publishing)

No. What I meant was, v3/distributions/external dir.
( One shouldn't place jars in an installed location, then make server
run. That's a hack ;-) Now, with OSGi that practise does not work.)
When your module depends on 3rd party, your module should also bundle
these 3rd party jars too. Take a look at pom.xml under any of the
v3/distributions/external sub-dirs.
Make the OSGi wiring for imported and exported packaged for these 3rd
party modules. Before all this, I'm assuming that, you have already
contacted Jerome/ Abhijit, that this module is inducing new 3rd party
dependencies for v3. (all legal /risk stuff!).
