      This RFE is to design a shared repository to store optional packages in a resource/version sensitive basis:

      - Side-by-side versioning: Resource will be stored in version sensitive way in the repository.
      - Resource can be jar file or native library.
      - Repository will be two levels: user, and system-wide.
      - Repository will be looked up by both Java Web Start and Java Plug-in for extensions.
      - A viewer will be provided to view/manage the extensions inside the repository, which can also be launched from Java Control Panel.

      Using the repository, Java packages from third parties will be installed once, but remain useful in different deployment contexts.
