The other plug-ins might be picking the old (and original) plug-in due to version binding. Also the
plug-ins may be signed jars and since your plug-in is unsigned it wont be picked up. I am not sure
if there is a workaround for this as this is supposed to be OSGi security mechanism.
However, if you do figure out a way, plz do r'ber to open a bug and submit your modifications as
required by EPL.
