The parsing for the plugin manager needs to be more robust. It needs to take into account unwanted characters, a better way to split on ":", and recognize requested plugin parameters.
Kept parsing to be on ":", but added checks for blank lines and comments. Pinged the platform sig Gitter channel and in the install-plugins.sh if a url was entered, a placeholder was still kept for version, so I kept it this way. Also asked them about changing delimiters and they wanted to keep the ":" delimiter.
