Often, yes. Copying plugins is rarely a good idea unless you remember
to run install.rb . Probably better to use script/plugin install with a
local path or a local repository URL.

And if you have corporate firewall difficulties, get them resolved now
(the http_proxy environment variable may be helpful on *nix). For
effective Rails development, you're going to want working connections to
rubygems.org and Github.

There's a Rake task -- test:plugins or something like that.
