Raphael commented on CB-11963:
------------------------------
Removing cordova-fetch and cordova-plugman components, since they do neither
use nor write these files.
> 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: cordova-lib
> Reporter: Philipp Kursawe
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
