I misspoke when I said there were three FOP add-ons; I removed three
add-ons that I interpreted as having s.t. to do with FOP.  They were (I
believe) the fop1_foprocessor, the xep_foprocessor, and the
xfc_foprocessor.

I have defined the variable XXE_ADDON_PATH to another path (a shared
directory), so I'm looking in that directory.  That addon directory has
subdirectories
   fop1_foprocessor-4_1_0
   xep_foprocessor-4_1_0
   xfc_foprocessor-4_1_0
which matches your "fop1_foprocessor-SOMETHING/".  However, I'm guessing
the 4_1_0 means XXE version 4.1.0, whereas I'm running 4.4.0 (and other
people here with a similar configuration have 4.5.0, but we all run off the
same addon directory).  So that may be part of the problem.

BTW, the other places where I might expect the FOP plugin to be (in the
XXE program directory, and in my user preferences directory) don't have any
plugins.

There was no such file in the fop1_foprocessor-4_1_0 directory, which
instead contains a subdirectory called fop1_foprocessor, which in turn
contains a bunch of .jar, .license etc. files.

I believe that under WinXP, the latter dir should be C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\addon.  That
directory is empty.

I believe that's correct, and I'm guessing it's true because that is a
shared directory.  I have write permission to that directory, but perhaps
someone else had their copy of XXE running, thereby preventing the plugin's
removal?

We have the WebDAV plugin installed, and I use it successfully, but for
some reason it doesn't show up on the list of installed plugins (on the
"Uninstall" tab in the "Install Add-ons" dlg).
