An installed custom plugin is properly coded but behaves unexpectedly

Symptoms

An installed custom plugin is properly coded but its behavior is unexpected.

Causes

The plugin's metadata XML file contains 'deployName' value that is already used by other installed plugin.

Defect Status

A fix is tentatively planned to be released as part of Rosetta SP 8.1:
Rosetta will block installation of duplicated custom plugins (a plugin that its "deployName" already in used by Rosetta) followed by a notification explaining the situation to the user.

Workaround

1. Set a unique 'deployName' value for the plugin's metadata XML found in '/PLUGIN-INF/' directory of the plugin (e.g. '/PLUGIN-INF/metadata_DuplicatedPlugin.xml').
2. Install the plugin (do not 'Upgarde').
