I think so.. Currently config file modification in plugman only supports appending to a config document but that can be changed. >Also, there is obviously a bit of confusion with using the name "plugin" >for an "app". Yeah this is my biggest concern. With the current setup, it is clear where the application goes. It is on its own and exists right from the get go - without any added platforms or plugins. While plugin.xml is nice in that it supports conditional platform config modification + assets, does this mean users will need to add a plugin.xml to their app before using it with the tools? This all seems backwards. While I understand the functionality of both current and proposed approaches essentially DO the same, this doesn't mean we should dictate the user workflow to follow the implementation.
