Hi, In order to integrate the Crosswalk to Cordova easily, the xwalk_core_library was built into AAR format in Maven repository (https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2). We expect reference the AAR to crosswalk-core-engine in Gradle scripte, it can be downloaded automatically when Cordova build with Gradle. But Cordova upstream can't reference a Gradle script to android project automatically when install the plugin, so I request a PR (https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/111 ) to cordova-lib, it will reference the Gradle script in plugin to build-extras.gradle which host in root project. We only add a xwalk.gradle file in plugin. xwalk.gradle: repositories { maven { url 'https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2' } } dependencies { compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library_beta:9.38.208.4' }
And add a type of framework named "graldeReference": <framework src="libs/xwalk_core_library/xwalk.gradle" custom="true" type="gradleReference"> Is it a good approach to use Maven library in plugin?

I wouldn't count on the Gradle build being completely stable until you see a 3.7 or a 4.0 release candidate. If you're developing plugins with specialized build requirements using Gradle, we're very eager to accommodate you. Just be aware that it's a moving target at this point.
