In fact, I'm already working on "plugins repository" feature. So it will be available soon.
What could be improved in JMeter regarding situation of unknown plugin in test plan is to still show the test plan, putting some "Unknown Class Element" at the place of unknown classes. That would allow reviewing these elements in UI which would be easier than monstrous error message currently shown. Although I'd keep the message. Also the plan with "Unknown Element" present wouldn't be available for running. Well, another arguable idea from me, tangential to the subject at hand, so nevermind :).
