Hi nikhill,
I am not a plugin writer so I don't know whether the plugin write can use
other tags for their purposes.
This issue was reported from one of the Intel xdk users who needed to use
both plugins in his app.
It looks to me that <source-file> tag is quite frequently used for some
library files (as Vladimir pointed out).
Whenever the user complains about this issue, we (Cordova) can't blame the
plugin developers for not checking with possible conflicts with other plugins.
I think the users will understand the new warning message (once aded), and
if any issue arise by skipping/overwriting the existing files, and they can try
a different order to resolve the issue.
However, when Cordova CLI throws an exception, it just leaves no option for
the user.
It is going to be a dead end for this use case.
