Description

Currently users can add runtime dependencies by placing the jar files in the `lib` directory of the broker distribution itself or in the `lib` directory of the broker instance. Supporting an environment variable to extend the classpath would avoid the need to copy those artifact in the broker directories and allow to add those jar files to the ActiveMQ Artemis container mounting additional volumes.
