    I think that the object that `getTargetConditions` returns was originally 
meant to hold details about target platform (Win8.1, WP8.1, Win10) and 
architecture to create a `condition` attribute, so `reference` field  doesn't 
really fit here - you might just check `if (obj.reference) ...`

>          Components: Windows
>    Affects Versions: Master
>         Environment: Windows 8/Windows10

> From plugin.xml:
> {noformat}<resource-file src="windows/shared/myprops.properties" 
> target="myprops.properties"/>{noformat}
> <resource-file> does not copy the file from src to target anymore. It used 
> to, but was changed. This creates a couple of issues since I expect it to be 
> in the application, but it technically isn't. This means that I cannot update 
> the file that doesn't exist and very much limits the functionality of 
> <resource-file> (Also the documentation is wrong for Windows since it doesn't 
> copy any files). Visual Studio also only shows the file from the src path. 
> This doesn't make much sense since that file wouldn't be in the application. 
> The expected behavior should be if the target is specified, <resource-file> 
> should copy the file to the target location. In turn, Visual Studio should 
> show the target file instead of the src file because the target is part of 
> the application whereas the src file is not. 
> This used to be expected behavior, but was changed as a result of CB-10326. 
> The intention of that issue is limited to use cases of only having the src 
> attribute, ignoring the possibility that we would want to update files in the 
> target instead (which imo makes more sense). Resource files are not all .dll 
> files, so it's not very user friendly to limit the <resource-file> tag to 
> handling just those kinds of files. 
> Proposed changes in JsprojManager.js and PluginHandler.js: 
> If target attribute is specified, copy the file to the target and point the 
> Include attribute to the path of the target.
