You just have to specify a category for your function(s). This is a bit confusing because in the documentation says function-category key is optional: forum.appian.com/.../Custom_Function_Plug-ins.html

But the category annotation in the Java code is required. If you don't want any category, you can choose to hide your function from any category, like this.

import com.appiancorp.suiteapi.expression.annotations.HiddenCategory;

@HiddenCategory
public class MyFunctionPluginClass {
...
}

Aha! That's what confused me. I had the category annotation in my other plug-in but didn't realize that this was required. I placed the annotation at the top of my class, recompiled and was able to deploy the plug-in. Thanks!
