Do you have any idea what that means in non-eclipse-speak?  To me it  
means nothing :-(

in ee-land, you can have jars in an ear that are in the classpath of  
everything in the ear (typically by putting them in the lib/ dir of  
the ear).  Does this have anything to do with eclipse utility jars?

I'd prefer to understand what is meant by a utility module better  
before saying anything.
