Braden Shepherdson commented on CB-4735:
----------------------------------------
It's much more difficult to support this "install, but allow removal"
behavior than to list optional extras. That said, it can still be done.
> Support optional plugin dependancies
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-4735
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4735
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI, Plugman
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Michal Mocny
> Assignee: Braden Shepherdson
>
> plugins (and perhaps soon apps, and perhaps some future day platforms, too)
> support plugin dependencies. However, right now all dependents are mandatory
> for the successful use of the depending plugin. It would be nice to be able
> to list optional dependencies which allow for conditional enhancement, but
> are not a core requirement.
> One quick example: Logger for iOS would be a nice default dependency of the
> platform, but should be safely removeable, and CLI should remember and
> respect the users decision to remove it if they chose to.
