> The information in the plugins.xml file would be better kept in the plugin 
> directory and added to the plugins.xml file when deployed. This would reduce 
> the amount of duplication in the plugins config files.
> All the necessary values are now in the plugin build.xml file.
> This change will require that the plugins.xml file be retrieved from the 
> build directory rather than the plugins directory when building the plugin 
> documentation pages. We will therefore need a fall back to retrieve this file 
> from the network if it is not currently available - this can be done with the 
> locationmap
