For those unaware, cordova-plugman [1] is a tool under active development that will be responsible for all the plugin things.
Braden, Anis and I are actively working on getting this tool to a working state, after which we will more completely integrate with cordova-cli. Braden is currently tackling JavaScript "installation" into a platform's www folder. This uses cordova.js' baked-in clobbers/merges functionality to attach JS modules to specific global namespaces. Some of the bigger changes include: - splitting out plugman install functionality into two separate steps, one for handling JS and the other for handling native installs. - plugins (at the minimum, the plugin manifest) will be stored in a project (currently aiming for under cordova/plugins) for ease of looking up which plugins are installed and how they are composed Braden has put up a future branch on cordova-plugman [2] where we can all track this work. Additionally he has a FUTURE.md [3] file that lays out specific changes necessary.
