I am attempting to install a custom output Logstash plugin on Logstash 7.2; the plugin is written in Java based on the instructions found [on this Logstash documentation page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/java-output-plugin.html).
I am attempting to deploy into a Logstash docker container using the [offline plugin install method](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html). When I run the installation, everything appears to be successful:
```auto
[root@ca3715a22ecb logstash-core]# logstash-plugin install file:///co360/plugins/co360-plugins.zip
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.

Installing file: /co360/plugins/co360-plugins.zip
Install successful
```
However, when I start Logstash, I get this error:
```auto
[ERROR] 2019-07-26 12:36:36.185 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (LoadError) Java plugin 'logstash-output-notify_plugin' does not contain a single jar file with the plugin's name and version
```
In the above error, _logstash-output-notify\_plugin_ is the Java plugin I expected to be installed; however, it appears the Jar file can't be reconciled when installing from the offline .zip package. As another point of reference, I installed this same plugin directly from the created gem file and it is able to be used without issue. A few questions:
1. Is offline installation of Java Logstash plugins supported?
2. If so, is there something special I need to do to ensure .jar files are included in the offline install package?
