In my experience, a missing plugin dependency is the usual cause of the 
'Unable to find plugin' message.  Look at your <workspace>/.metedata/.log 
file.  If there are missing dependencies, they will be listed there.

(The .metadata/.log file often has useful information that is not in the 
build log, so that is always the first place I look when a build fails.)
