   You can submit plugins here:
   http://bbpress.org/plugins/forum/requests

   Once they're approved, you'll get a bbPress URL for your plugin. :-)

   I think gautam2011 means outputting the path to bbPress' plugin URL directory.

   Is there a constant variable like WP_PLUGIN_URL?
   I'm looking for this too! I'm porting a WP plugin over.

   [EDIT]
   Found it! It's in bb-settings.php

   The variable is BB_PLUGIN_URL.
   Simple as that! :)

   BB_PLUGIN_URL is useless as there are several places a user can put a plugin. Most users also don't know they aren't supposed to use bb-plugins and make my-plugins because the powers that be refuse to ship bbpress with a pre-made my-plugins directory.

   After much trial and error and problems reported by windows users, I figured this out:
   

   $url=bb_get_option('uri').trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,"/\"),"\"),array("","/"),dirname(__FILE__)),' /\').'/'; 
   
   $path=rtrim(dirname(__FILE__),' /\').'/';

   Where $url is the full uri to the local plugin's directory (ie. if you have an image in there, that's the url to it)

   The $path is the local storage path that will work in both windows and linux.

   It may look like these functions can be simplified but if you do that, I guarantee you'll break it under one environment or another.

   Thanks ck...

   But, you forgot to escape \.
   So, the correct code is:
   $url = bb_get_option('uri').trim(str_replace(array(trim(BBPATH,"/\"),"\"),array("","/"),dirname(__FILE__)),' /\').'/';

   Oh...
   The forum changed double \ into single \
