Hi Stefan, The plugin page was removed because it mostly contained information about the external plugins that are not part of the "official" Apache Hop project and releases.
In hindsight, we could have added a disclaimer and kept (an updated version of) that page. Feel free to create a feature request if you'd like to see it restored. The hop-plugins repository you refer to was created for a number of plugins that couldn't be imported into the main code base because of various reasons (licensing issues, outdated dependencies, ICLA issues etc). A lot of the plugins that were in that repository have already been integrated in the main code base. Some of the remaining plugins there could be integrated in the main code base, but that again will require quite a bit of work that doesn't add an awful lot of immediate value. This isn't ideal, but the Apache Hop developer team isn't huge and our bandwidth is limited. Even though the latest release for the plugins in that repository is 2.12, they should work with recent Apache Hop 2.1x releases (including 2.15.0).
