All you have to do is create folders in the plugins folder, move plugins into them and run the Help>Refresh Menus command. This works with all types of plugins (.class, .jar, .ijm, .js, .bsh and .py), except for .jar files containing a plugins.config file that installs plugins contained in the .jar file in specific menu locations. In this case, for each plugin, use the recorder (Plugins>Macros>Record) to create a one line macro that runs the plugin and save it in one of the newly created folders.
