Summary0010665: Plugins built for server not listed
DescriptionWhen you open the plugin manager, all of the plugins built with ParaView are listed under the local plugins, which makes it easy to select them for loading. However, the list for remote plugins starts up blank, even after connecting to a server that was built with plugins.

Probably overkill, but I've attached an image of my plugin manager showing a blank entry for server-side plugins.

* Currently vtkSMPluginManager has code to load the ".plugins" file and update its internal data-structures. This only works on the client side since these data-structures are not built on the server processes.
* vtkSMPluginManager uses something that it calls "serveruri". ServerManager does not know about "serveruri", so that's not correct. We need to fix it so that the vtkSMPluginManager doesn't rely on "serveruri".
* We may want to look at how to build the data-structures on all processes on their own about plugins available/loaded etc. Also managing PV_PLUGIN_PATH on all processes and then fetching that info to client for displaying in the dialog. This will make is easier for pvpython to respect plugin paths as well.

Adding relationship with BUG 0009972 since we can come up with a fix that address both these issues.

Changing to 4.0 since this will straight forward after the Collaboration changes (those bring in improvements to the plugin manager as well)

Fixed by merge from "Collaboration" branch. The plugin base code was improved to enable this functionality.
