0007224: Location to install plugins on OS X is basically inaccessible to the user.
Currently ParaView looks for plugins in ParaView.app/Contents/plugins which is not conducive to development and end user use.

I have added a few more paths that ParaView will look for plugins:

ParaView.app/Contents/plugins
a folder named "plugins" that is located at the same level as ParaView.app
~/Library/Application Support/ParaView/ParaView3.3/Plugins

This makes the user experience better on OS X.

On Mac, ParaView looks for plugins both in a directory called Plugins next to where ParaView.app is installed and in ~/.config/ParaView/ParaView3.X/Plugins.

Ken's response sounds good to me.
