I don't think that's the problem. True, the class name suggests plugin  
and maybe I need to fix that. But the issue is not related to the name  
of class surely? Just in case i simply paste the declaration here:

public class PortalAuthenticationPlugin extends XWikiAuthServiceImpl {

     /**
      * Authenticates the user
      * @param context
      * @return authenticated XWiki user
      * @throws com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException
      */
     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     @Override
     public XWikiUser checkAuth(XWikiContext context) throws  
XWikiException
     {
        ... stuff ...
     }

}

To make sure its not a problem with both my plugins in the same  
jarfile, I created one project per jarfile. Both compile fine, install  
fine and i can see them in the deploy conduit in WEB-INF/lib. Both jar  
files contain the classes. One is found by the class loader, the other  
is not.
