Extjs 5 multiple application with central library

Recently i've been exploring ExtJS 5 and making some applications with it. I've been using the Sencha CMD to generate a new application every time and the problem i see is that every application needs the whole ext framework with all the classes (which in total is 123MB, which is quite alot when you have 10+ applications).

Since there is no way for me to make 1 application with multiple subapplications (since i also have other, non-extjs, applications running on my local website), my question is rather simple: Is there a way to let all the applications use the same extjs framework build? for example in a /lib/extjs/ folder in my root?

I've looked through the sencha forum and documentation already, but i found nothing that suggests this is possible. I saw that the bootstrap.js has all the paths to the extjs framework, however if i have to manually edit all these, its going to be very time consuming..

Thanks in advance.

The solution to the problem is to create a workspace:

sencha -sdk /path/to/ext generate workspace myws
cd myws
sencha -sdk ext generate app MyApp myapp

The above copies the library to myws/ext and all application in this workspace use the same copy of Ext.
