When ROBOT's CLI is initialised, we search for implementations of the `Command` interface offered as services, both in the system class path and in any Jar file found in the following directories: * the directory specified by the `robot.pluginsdir` system property; * the directory specified by the `ROBOT_PLUGINS_DIRECTORY` environment variable; * the calling user's `~/.robot/plugins` directory. When an implementation is found, it is registered to the CommandManager, allowing to use the command the same way as any built-in command. When a command has been loaded from a Jar file from one of the directories listed above (instead of from the system class path), its name must be prefixed by the basename of the Jar file (without the .jar extension) followed by a colon, for the command to be invoked from the command line. For example, if the file `my-plugins.jar` contains a command named `hello`, that command must be invoked as `my-plugins:hello`.
It could happen that a Jar plugin file could contain a bogus service configuration file, that is, a file that does not point to an existing org.obolibrary.robot.Command implementation. ROBOT should not abruptly fail in that situation, but should instead ignore the Jar file.
