Hi Joachim,
Yes, it is possible. The method now is much more flexible and does not force
one to have 1000 sub entries in the Plugins folder.
One can make their own categories (folders) and the plugins put there will
appear under that category regardless of the plugins.config entries (I think
the limit is up to 4 commands).
Plugins in the Plugin folder (but not subfolders), will use the plugins.config
file for creating their entries.
This thread explains it all

and this was the final announcement.

To reduce the size of the Plugins menu, JAR files that implement fewer than
four Plugins submenu commands are installed in the submenu corresponding to
the folder containing the JAR file. In addition, single plugins distributed
as ZIP archives are installed in the "Miscellaneous" submenu.
