Description Henrik Lynggaard Hansen

Currently the our naming of plugins (even just within the core) seems a bit "random".Not only is this randomness a bit ugly, it also breaks the natural sorting. 

examples:
Hudson BIRT Charts Plugin
JCaptcha Plugin
Hudson :: Maven 3 :: Plugin

I think we should agree on a preferred naming convention and re-align our own plugins. This convention should be posted on the wiki, so others have a chance to follow it.

I suggest we remove both "Hudson" and "plugin" from the name as that information is redundant in the context of the update centre. which would lead to names such as
* BIRT Charting
* JCaptcha
* Maven 3
* Windows slaves

I am not sure if this should be done at the source level or in the update centre .
