If (mainly for testing) I'm trying to add a plugin site like file:///P:/Documents/src/taverna-workspace/taverna-workbench-2.1/products/net.sf.taverna.t2.taverna-workbench/plugins/update-site/ - the plugin manager fails to retrieve anything as it only supports HTTP URIs for some reason.

But the big problem is that this plugin site is still added, and the plugin manager fails at startup, exiting Taverna:

I don't see why non-HTTP URLs (supported by java.net.URL) should not be allowed. Invalid URLs should not be added to plugin-sites.xml
