Thanks!
It's at least good to know that you check the correct menu.
The path to the directory is right. Still not seeing the Example plugin. It's under a local xampp setup with PHP 5.4.31 and I have not set a path to java (if this is of any interest).
Could it be caching related? Didn't see any cache settings yet (except for some PHP extensions which I'm not using).
greetings
