If you are on a *nix machine, you can create a symbolic link inside the ImageJ plugins folder that points to a plugins directory in the user's home directory. ImageJ (on my OS-X) seems to follow this link.
- Change directory to imageJ's plugin directory (on my machine it is)
cd /Applications/ImageJ/plugins
- Create a symbolic link in ImageJ's plugin directory to point to the user's MyImageJPlugins directory
ln -s ~/MyImageJPlugins
Note the "~" in the symbolic link will be interpreted as the active user's own home directory so this will work for all users.
Each user then need only create an Image Plugins directory "MyImageJPlugins" in his/her own home directory if they want a plugins folder personal to them
mkdir ~/MyImageJPlugins
At least this all worked for me. Good luck.
