The only think I know of that you can do is to include a dummy ejb  
jar file with no ejbs in it and put your libs in it's manifest  
classpath.  It will need a skeleton ejb-jar.xml descriptor so it can  
get deployed correctly.

You are correct that the dependency elements only refer jars outside  
the ear in the geronimo repository.  The other thing you could do is  
to put the jars in the geronimo repo and use dependency elements.   
This is fairly easy if you use maven... .but still not as easy as it  
should be.

hope this helps
