It looks like you are missing a dependency in the plugin.properties  
file.

You will need tags like:

   plugin.dependency.count=1
   plugin.dependency.0=edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl

since the jena code is included in the owl plugin, and if you need  
that, you have to declare the dependence of your plugin on that one.
