------------------------------------
Summary: Get rid of fetch.json and <platform.json> in plugins
folders
Key: CB-11963
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11963
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: AllPlugins
Reporter: Philipp Kursawe
In a cordova project you define the plugins in config.xml which kind of serves
as the project file.
Since some time now it also contains the plugins the project is using.
I wonder why there is still a /plugins/fetch.json and a /plugins/PLATFORM.json
for each installed platform.
Both somehow list plugins in a redundant way, since the same information is
already in config.xml
More so, the platform JSON contains PACKAGE_NAME that references to the
config.xml widget id. Why? Its not like we can have multiple app IDs specified.
I propose to get rid of those files and make `cordova prepare` actually
updating the VARIABLES defined in config.xml plugins. Because at the moment the
only way to CHANGE a var in config.xml and see this change being reflected in
the built app is to remove the platform and re-add it.
This is so error prone.
