the plugins folder of a component is never loaded.
the component's plugins folder can be empty,
since the plugin is always called in the host's context.

so you have two options:

1

install the plugin for both the host and component, during development.
use the application build dialog to create a compiled component,
which will automatically exclude the plugins folder.

2

install the plugin for the host only.
create an alias/shortcut/symlink to the hosts plugin inside the component's 
plugins folder.
whether the alias is transportable or not depends on the type of alias you 
create.

-

you can also install the plugin inside the application, but that would break 
the app signature on mac.
besides, in client/server. a plugin installed inside the server app is not 
transmitted to the client.
