I'll check it again on local build, I must miss all those errors :(

> 65 of our plugins are bundled exploded instead of a .jar
> Some are probably just mistakes and can easily be packed others are because of legacy code assuming it can access the files directly and even store data in the plugins - that should be fixed.
> What should be fixed:
> 1. The way how plug-ins use images in plugin.xml, in java code and in .meta xmodel files
> 2. Plug-ins that loads resources should be aware that they are in jar now (VPE should be able to load templates from plugin jar files)
> 3. Some plug-ins contain resources registered in XML catalog
> 4. common.projecttemplates contains resources that is used as template for new projects
> 5. TBD
