I’m building a custom control plugin for the CMS and I would like to use a setting I have in the general resource bundle in there, how could I access that given ResourceBundleUtils can’t be used there?

If you’re building it for CMS authoring application, not for SITE delivery application, you should use “Repository Resource Bundle” [1], not “HST Dynamic Resource Bundle Support” [2].  
org.hippoecm.hst.resourcebundle.ResourceBundleUtils is available only in SITE delivery application.
