The problem is the issue of maintenance (among others...?). When someone updates their plugin you have to download the new one, find the plugin code in the jquery.js file, delete the old code from the jquery file and then insert the new code. But if you include an external file you simply need to download the new code and point your parent script to the new file (if you've changed the name of the file).

Subject: Re: [jQuery] What's the proper way?

I read on jQuery.com (should'a looked there first. doh!), and it said that all plug-ins just needed to be included after the jQuery core. Nothin' fancy. :o) Well, duh... that's what pasting it in the main core file does. I re-downloaded the json.js package (hacked by Mark Gibson for jQuery), it it worked. The problem was in the source, and not in the way I was including it. :o/

So what are people's opinions on putting plug-ins in the same file as the core source? I'm just trying to minimize the number of files I include, but is that the right thing to do?
