- Your plug-ins should have a document type and UTI declared in your app's Info.plist so they can be recognized as file packages rather than folders by the Finder and get a nice icon.
Another nice effect of this is the same behavior you get from the System Preferences app with respect to .prefPane bundles. When you double click on a plug-in, the app to which it belongs can open it and ask if you wish to install it, and if so whether to do so for all users (/Library/Application Support) or just for yourself (~/Library/ Application Support).
This is a very nice end user experience IMHO. It saves them the trouble of having to navigate through folders they're likely to be unfamiliar with in order to "install" the plug-in.
