There is no Standard way, it depends on what you want to achieve.
But in most cases the following would be a modular and good solution with clear separations of code.

Assuming your Scout app is myapp.client, myapp.shared, myapp.server

1. create a new scout SERVER Service with the operations to call on that external program, (java methods) for example

public interface IExternalDataService extends IService{
  String ping();
}

Basically we are only interested in the Interface. Make sure that the interface is definied in the Server bündle, not in the shared bundle.

2. manually create a new eclipse Fragment Plug-In (fragment!) that uses the hist bundle myapp.server
This Fragment now contributes code to your myapp.server bundle. There could by such fragments for different operating systems, different os styles etc.

3. Create an implementation for that IExternalDataService in your Fragment

@Priority(10)
public class Win32ExternalDataService extends AbstractService implements IExternalDataService{
  public String ping(){
    return "pong";
  }
}

4. Now create a new Folder in your Fragment named "lib".

5. Add all jars of your external tool to that lib Folder.

6. Double click on the fragment.xml to open it. Go to the "Runtime" tab.

7. On the right side in the Classpath section click the "Add..." button to add the newly added jars to the Fragment classpath.

8. Now Register the new Service in the "Extensions" tab. Or open the "fragment.xml" tab and add something like

  <extension
        point="org.eclipse.scout.service.services">
     <service
           class="com.bsiag.crm.sampledata.Service1"
           createImmediately="false">
     </service>
  </extension>

9. add the new Fragment to your product configuration (dependencies) and start the Server.
9. now you are done.

In the Scout SDK there is a wizard called "Add new Library Bundle" that probably will do what you need. Have a look at this step of the corresponding Wiki tutorial.

If you need your libraries (set of JAR files) available on the server side, just start the Scout wizard on the Library Folder under the blue server node of your Scout application.

I followed your tutorial Ivan Motsch
and in the class ServerApplication where is in the server bundel, i put this code in the method start()

    SERVICES.getService(IExternalDataService.class).startJadex();

with startJadex() is the method which i start my external application
** My question is : if is it the good way to invok other services in scout ??
