  ****************************************************************
  If the plugin generation is issued from a base profile created
  from a Network Deployment installation, then plugin generation
  will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• Plugin configuartion generation was using the installed
  product to determine the query string to locate its mbean.
  When a base profile was created from a Network Deployment
  installation, plugin would attempt to query based upon Network
  Deployment instead of Base. Changed the code to look at
  runtime information instead of installation information.
