Plugman seemed pretty straight forward. There's alot of info in the Readme about the plugin.xml file, but it was alot easier to understand it by looking at a simple example like this one: https://github.com/phonegap-build/GAPlugin/blob/master/plugin.xml
Perhaps having a simple example of the plugin.xml in the readme would be helpful for other people too. Also I'm a fan of GUI, if there was a plugin for Eclipse to view and enable plugins you want to use that would be awesome! That would also help with cordova plugin discovery as well?
