There are three launcher subclasses (`JarLauncher`, `WarLauncher`, and `PropertiesLauncher`).
Their purpose is to load resources (`.class` files and so on.) from nested jar files or war
files in directories (as opposed to those explicitly on the classpath). In the case of
`JarLauncher` and `WarLauncher`, the nested paths are fixed. `JarLauncher` looks in
`BOOT-INF/lib/`, and `WarLauncher` looks in `WEB-INF/lib/` and `WEB-INF/lib-provided/`.
You can add extra jars in those locations if you want more. The `PropertiesLauncher`
looks in `BOOT-INF/lib/` in your application archive by default, but you can add
additional locations by setting an environment variable called `LOADER_PATH` or `loader.path`
in `loader.properties` (which is a comma-separated list of directories, archives, or directories
within archives).
