Hi Navneet,
without having tried it, my guess is that the plugins directory should be named 'plugins', and the default macros directory would reside in the same directory as 'plugins'.
You can get the place where ImageJ expects its plugins if you paste the following line with CTRL-SHIFT-V
getDirectory("plugins");
and then type CTRL-R for "run macro".
You should also see what plugin directory ImageJ uses if you start ImageJ in debug mode (Add switch --debug to the arguments of the launcher).
So, if you start ImageJ with -Dplugins.dir=H:\ImageJ or -Dplugins.dir=H:\ImageJ\plugins
I would assume that the plugins should be in H:\ImageJ\plugins (in both cases), and macros in H:\ImageJ\macros.
ImageJ searches for plugins only in the plugins directory and its immediate subdirectories, not in any deeper levels. So you can't have plugins in ...imageJ\plugins\Custom\Navneet.
Michael
