Could you please try it again with 1.1.8 ?

Seems to work now, with 1.1.8.

What do you mean by "recognized"? .../share/sablevm-classpath/ is not an
"extension" directory, where you can drop any jar file and expect it to
be picked up "automagically".  You should normally put it into your
classpath (or append to bootclasspath, if for some reason it's better).

Yes, unpacking and putting it in that dir works, but it's only an
undesired side effect.  This is because SableVM binary supports both:
unpacked and jarred classpaths.  So it searches both: directory itself,
for uncompressed files, and also these 2 jar files that might be there.
Both these locations are part of default boot classpath setting.

In particular, I think we can add support for extension directory quite
easily before next release.

Ideally, we'd have http://sablevm.org/bugs/88 solved :-)
