Thanks Mariano. You are right.

Hilaire, just check the implementation of #isPluginAvailable to find out 
about the version of the plugin api included with the VM, and the 
version required by the Smalltalk code. This stuff is still evolving. 
Currently, it is version 4 (pushed 2 days ago). Gerald, please rebuild 
your VMs! Mac VM at 
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3647vwlw44yfyge/AAColWDFZ3OYgNN1ZY26uBTfa?dl=0 is 
updated to this level.

Hopefully, the plugin will stabilize and be integrated into official 
OpenSmalltalk builds, and this inconvenience will fade.

Thanks,
