+          Another benefit is that all plug-ins inside this directory are registered
+          with relative paths. This means that there is a lot less hassle when 
+          using job agents to run plug-ins. Just change this setting for the job
+          agent installation and all plug-ins will work. For plug-ins that are outside
+          of this directory you may have to manually register the path if it is different from
+          the main path. It will also be a lot easier if you plan to move all plug-ins to
+          a different directory. Just move the JAR files and change this setting. There is
+          no need to change the paths for each plug-in in the database.
