We demonstrate that a weakly-coupled nonlinear dielectric waveguide surface-plasmon (DWSP-JJ) system can be formulated in analogy to bosonic Josephson junction of atomic condensates at very low temperatures, yet it exhibits different dynamical features. Such a system can be realized along a metal - dielectric interface where the dielectric medium hosts a nonlinear waveguide (e. g. fiber) for soliton propagation. The inherently dynamic coupling parameter generates novel features in the phase space
