Thanks. Does that make the other plugins 'incorrect'? As in, should I bother making a Jira issue to get the plugin structure consistent?
Also one more question -- is there a correct way to add plugins to windows apps using plugman directly? The logical way doesn't work: node cordova-plugman/main.js install --platform windows --project > path/to/project --plugin path/to/plugin > Object #<Object> has no method 'help' But is you use '--platform windows8' this will cause problems with, for example, the device plugin, because it will add the src/windows8 code instead of src/windows.
