Indeed. This change makes the automatic upgrade of user-installed 
add-ons after a new version of XXE is installed simpler, more reliable 
and more systematic.

A simple and safe way to pre-install add-ons for your XXE users is 
--manually or using a script--

1) Download the add-on from this page:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons.shtml

and

2) Unzip the ".zip" file containing the add-on in XXE_install_dir/addon/.

For example, unzipping ftp_vdrive-10_1_0.zip in XXE_install_dir/addon/ 
creates XXE_install_dir/addon/ftp_vdrive/.

and

3) Last but not least, delete directory XXE_user_preferences_dir/cache/.
(It's always safe to delete XXE_user_preferences_dir/cache/ as XXE 
always automatically re-creates it.)

---
XXE_user_preferences_dir/ is:

* $HOME/.xxe10/ on Linux.

* $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor10/ on the Mac.

* %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor10\ on Windows. Example: 
C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor10\.
---

This is basically what does XXE's integrated addèon manager.
