That's only true if the plugin code is not-yours.
I think there is generally a lot of confusion in this thread about what
plugins are. So let's attempt to clear that up: *A plugin is just a
namespace.*
*
*
It's just the name of a folder with "stuff" in it. That stuff can be almost
anything. There are several common types of stuff:
* Someone else's code you are using [1]
* Some of your own code you share between projects
* A place to put any random class/code in a neat box
* Atomic parts of your application [2]
The last one is the most relevant to the first post in this thread. For
example, the apps I work with right now use 5-15 plugins, their app
controller/model/view folders are typically empty.
In addition you can organize your paths any way you want - if you want a
"modules" folder you can just do:
App::build(array('Plugin', array('Modules'));
A real example of what Andre or the_woodsman mean when they talk about
modules would probably clear a lot of things up so if either of you would
like to fill out this template:
-----
Right now using cake files are here:
<real example>
Using plugins files would look like this:
<real example reorganized>
Using modules files would look like this:
<real example reorganized>
-----
that would be peachy.

[1] This is ONE TYPE of plugin. it is not the definition of a plugin
[2] This is a "module"
