    It currently doesn't work in 100% of the cases but I do agree we can 
postpone the fix. 
    
    It doesn't really matter what the name of the element is : '<variable>' or 
something else. As long as it works, I'm fine with it. 
    
    Although it is NOT written anywhere that '<variable>' is the name to be 
used, the code is currently saying a different story(long before this change). 
In fact, "ConfigParser.getFeature(id)" does assume that variables are under the 
'<variable>' element name. That's why changing things to '<variable>' fixes 
this issue.
    
    Like I said, I'm fine if instead you want to modify the name to something 
else.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: CordovaLib
>            Reporter: Omar Mefire
>
> When adding a plugin with the --save/autosave option on, the variables (if 
> any is passed) should be saved into config.xml so that the plugin can be 
> auto-restored successfully later during 'prepare' or 'build' operation.
> For example:
> - cordova create hello com.omefire.hello Hello
> - cd hello
> - cordova plugin add com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect --variable 
> APP_ID="my-app-id" --variable APP_NAME="my-app-name" --save => results in 
> facebook plugin added to config.xml
> - cordova prepare android => results in an error message :
> " Installing "com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect" for android
> Failed to install 'com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect':Error: Variable(s) 
> missing: APP_ID, APP_NAME "
> This issue is due to the fact that 'cordova plugin add <plugin> --save' save 
> variables in config.xml using the <param> tag instead of the <variable> tag.
> N.B: on 'cordova prepare <platform>', the plugins are restored from 
> config.xml if they are not yet installed.
