Actually I believe that the plugin updater is broken. On my system (XP)
at least, renaming the downloaded file to the plugin directory fails
silently (PluginDownloader.java, line 60).

My guess is that the jar file can't be replaced while in use. Deleting
the old plugin file first doesn't work either.

Has this actually worked at all or only on specific environments? It
seems that the update mechanism needs to be changed.
