cleanup woes

As part of my clean-up, I have consolidated a bunch of classes into a .jar file.

Alas, many of these classes include '_' in their name.

My usual drill is to install the .jar file, and I've done what I do for all my plugins - I put it in a subdirectory (CreativeComputation) of plugins.  I install using drag&drop.

All of my real plugins have a plugin.config file which controls where they appear in the Plugins menu.  The "utilities.jar" has no such plugin.config file.

As some of you will know - this causes these classes (with '_' in their names) to appear in the Plugins menu (under a new menu item called "CreativeComputation".

This really does not harm - it just clutters up the Plugins menu.

So...how SHOULD I do this?

a) where should I install the utilities.jar file (and, can my users automatically install this in the right place using Update?)
b) is there a way (say, a plugins.config file?) to say "this is not a plugin, don't install it in the Plugins menu"?
