Yes. Currently we are adding plugin be hand.
The problem is that we have a distributes developer team. So when the UI
developers change something in www to require a plugin and merge that with
master; then when the other developers pull master again the plugin is
missing and the Application hangs.
This has led to some frustration and wasted time.
I think it would really help if www - developers could express a dependency
on plugins so that the next
phonegap local android build
updates to the now missing plugins...
