You can add plugin.xml in your directory /opt/ros/melodic/share/rqt_virtual_joy.

Go to rqt_virtual_joy directory.
```
roscd rqt_vritual_joy
```
Make file plugin.xml
```
sudo touch plugin.xml
```
Edit the plugin.xml file with gedit (or other)
```
sudo gedit plugin.xml
```
Copy and paste the contents of the plugin.xml file from the rqt_virtual_joystick github to your plugin.xml.
