Paraphrasing from meeting notes today: * plugins are getting awesome treatment: * universe * dependencies * versioning * add/remove/upgrade * access to native * multiple plugins in one repo * apps are getting some treatment: * the app manifest has access to platform properties * merges folder
My observation is, if we merged the two concepts, we could share the benefits, but with some changes to the tools required, and certainty for confusion. I think we've solved a lot of problems in the last few weeks, that will make cordova-cli pretty awesome. As a result it will have enough flexibility that we can accomplish a lot of the above in a variety of ways. For example, I could already ship my app code within a directory of a plugin, and document that you should manually symlink to that app within your workspace. That way I can get app versioning, plugin dependancies, etc, just by way of packaging apps within plugins. -Michal
