Custom Plugin not running in jenkins even I added it in ext folder

Hi all,

The scenario is the following:

1. I created a plugin that does lots of things, but one of them is to allow me to create a new test step type for loading big XML files for uploads through soap interfaces

2. When I place the plugin into the .soapuios locally, Plugin Manager shows it loads the plugin and I see the test step type created in the soap ui UI

3. When I put the plugin in the ext folder and start the jenkins job, it shows that it loads the jar into the env classpath, but Plugin Manager loads 0 plugins.

4. Also, it states that ERROR to create the new test step type

Is there another way which soapui can get the plugins correctly excepts the .soapuios folder? Maybe soapui-settings?

br,

Claudiu Adam
