> Configuration schema (http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core/activemq-core-5.17.2.xsd for instance) allows multiple "plugins" elements:
> <xs:element name='plugins' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'>
> But only the last element is taken into account.
> So if user by mistake ends up with multiple plugins elements in their config it can come as surprise to them that plugins were not configured properly.
> This can become critical for some users as, for example, authorization comes as a plugin and user does not know if it is working or not unless they perform a negative test.
> I recently saw real-life configs looking like this:
> <broker>
> ...
>   <plugins>
>     <authorizationPlugin>...</authorizationPlugin>
>     <forcePersistencyModeBrokerPlugin persistenceFlag="true"/>
>   </plugins>
> ...
>   <plugins/>
> </broker>
> The broker would run, but authorization plugin will not work allowing anyone with the network access to connect without providing credentials. Persistency is not forced as well.
> We should set maxOccurs="1" on the plugins element probably.
