Martin Bektchiev updated CB-7015:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Many plugins need to refer to JARs from the Android SDK. They currently embed a 
copy of the respective files in them and install it into the application's 
libs/ directory. This however might create incompatibility issues with other 
plugins which may use the same or dependent JARs.

A good alternative would be to be able to specify a relative path to the SDK 
directory in <lib-file> as it is now possible with the <framework> element with 
custom=false.

E.g. 
<source-file src="src/android/com/plugin/android-support-v13.jar" 
target-dir="libs/" />

could become 

<lib-file src="extras/android/support/v13/android-support-v13.jar" 
custom="false" />

in 
https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/blob/54e59bce6092ec44fe2005c166350fd85e75449b/plugin.xml#L64
