One thing you could do today, Ray, is create a plugin which lists all the plugin dependencies you want, then only add that one whenever you create a new project. If you would like, you could even publish that plugin as a "cordova-core-useful-plugins" plugin or under some such name.
Otherwise, I do think the intended way to solve this problem is with our plugin repository: http://plugins.cordova.io/. I'm not sure that we support it yet, but I think we plan to give you CLI access to that repo so you can easily add plugins by name. -Michal On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 2:23 PM, Ray Camden <rayca...@adobe.com> wrote: > One of the things I discovered while working with a virgin 3.0 project is > that everything that used to be core now needs to be added before you use > it.
