in the process of upgrading from 2.x to 5 and I find my code does not work to add plugin to transport client

```
   // Create new transport client using the Builder pattern
    TransportClient.Builder builder = TransportClient.builder();

```

..more code

```
            builder = builder.addPlugin(shieldPluginClass); 

```

The addPlugin is no longer available. I need to add shieldPluginClass during transportClient. Any ideas or example how I do this in v 5.0?
