plug-ins and app-updates

hi,

we had a discussion going on about the proper way to implement plug-ins in our app. while my developer opted for inclusion inside of the package, i (as the ui-guy) opted for the creation of a folder in app-support.

he then hit me whith the HIG.
bummer. ;)

now, the reason i wanted a folder outside of our app was to keep 3rd-party plug-ins installed when we provide an update to our application. i also gotta admit that i didn't know about the finder's feature of adding/removing plug-ins via "get info".

how do y'all handle this?

i feel that it'd be a bad idea to use the finder feature, as our users will have to re-add their plug-ins once we update our app. i also feel that it'd be easier to update plug-ins that way, as it's a simple drag'n'drop, instead of a bunch of clicks.
then again, enabling/disabling of plug-ins is so much easier using "get info" then moving a plug-in into or out of a folder nested inside an obscure folder.

any thoughts, comments, insights?

thanx
greetz
