> It would help to have the ability to add jars and configuration files to the classpath - since that is where ofbiz looks for. 
>  
> So the idea is to make it easy for people to add things at the BEGINING of the classpath so they can override ofbiz configurations (and / or libraries ?!) 
>  
> I believe this can achieved for both gradle deploy and binary (ofbiz.tar) deploy with minimal changes. 
>  
> If you could add the code snippet bellow to build.gradle then people can add files to config/ and lib-extra/ directories and they will be available for ofbiz when it starts. 
>  
> I've tested this and it works for my ofbiz docker build (I'm planning an article these next 2 days and will share it. Spoiler: it works on ARM - raspberry pi 4 ). 
>  
> I'm also adding the database drivers post build to lib-extra since gradle hardcodes the classpath at build. Adding new jars to lib/ does not do anything. 
>  
> That way I can keep the ofbiz source unchanged and still get what I need.

>     doLast {
>         // Alter the start script for Unix systems.
>         unixScript.text =
>                 unixScript.text.replace('CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/lib','CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/config/:$APP_HOME/lib-extra/*:$APP_HOME/lib')        // Alter the start script for Windows systems.
> //        windowsScript.text =
> //                windowsScript.text.replace('CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME/lib',
> // 'CLASSPATH=$APP_HOME\\conf\\:$APP_HOME/lib-extra/*:$APP_HOME/lib')
