If both of you like the xml configuration mechanism its fine with me. I only 
want to mention an alternative that wouldn't require additional configuration: 
We could scan the jars in the Plugins directory only but not in its 
subdirectories. That would relieve us from the biggest part of scanning. For 
example look at the Syntax Plugin: The Plugin jar itself is very small compared 
to the jars in its lib directory.

Johan, you are one of the first SQuirreL developers and the originator of the 
Scripts plugin, aren't you? I can't remember hearing from you since I started 
working on SQuirreL 5 years ago. Good to hear from you again. Perhaps you have 
seen that your Plugin has changed a bit through the years but is well alive. :-)
