Not to counter your claim that it's working for you with v0.9.0, Doitsu, but... doesn't your plugin use the system PATH to locate the java executable? If the calibre OpenWith plugin cleans the PATH environment variable before launching Sigil (thanks @davidfor for the clarification, I couldn't remember the exact details). How will your (or any other Sigil plugin that relies on the system PATH to find an external program) be able to function if PATH is cleaned beforehand?

Regarding whether or not Sigil still suffers from the issue with c runtime paths that it's predecessors had, I have no real idea at this time.
