It is called Bone_Geometry.jar

I get:
sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.WrappedException: Wrapped
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.doube.bone_geometry.Fit_Sphere
(<Unknown source>#1) in <Unknown source> at line number 1

I took the _ out, and called the class FitSphere, with no improvement.

I took out the ("") too: no effect.

If I remove / rename plugins.config everything works fine, I just get a
deep menu to click through before I get to my plugins, so maybe I will
go back to that and do my best to observe Volker's design guidelines.
