Hi Jesse,
yes this was a way I tried a few month ago and it works with a Windows
Runtime Component written in C++/CX (a simple hello world thing, call
async from JS).
But you will be very limited in Windows Runtime Components, particular
in creating XAML UI components. This is not allowed/available:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bd764f1e-887f-49b5-beb6-848cea93fb44/lauch-xaml-ui-from-c-runtime-component-in-html5javascipt-ws-app?forum=winappswithhtml5
So the only way (if I understand this correctly) is to port the WinJS
project over to a XAML C# or C++/CX project. To get this working.
Is there a near or far plan on doing this? Maybe as a separate platform
in the cordova-windows repo named "windows8xaml".
I will need this for our APP project, I will do the porting my self when
there is no work done yet and hopefully get this running :-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Windows 8 apps *will* be able to include plugins authored in other
languages, but it is not yet supported.
For now, you can create/add a new portable-library project to your
solution, and access it from async javascript.
More details here:

Unfortunately, you will have to set this up yourself, and plugins
authored this way are not yet distributable/installable with
plugman/cordova-cli.

Hi,
are there any work done on porting the windows 8 platform to XAML
C# or C++ implementation?
AFAIK if I am correct this is the only way to fully support native
XAML C#/C++ plugins on Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT store APPs.

Hi,
we are very interested in phonegap/cordova and we like the
concept of HTML5/JS/CSS + native plugin APPs.
We have created a proof of concept to embed a OpenGL
Render Engine into a the Html-Views (not WebGL).
The native plugin which renders on a native view is
running on iOS and Android very well.
Now we whant to go a bit further and whant to bring this
technic to Windows 8 (RT) platform to support the Windows
8 Desktop and the Windows RT Tablets.
For this we would like to try to get a DirectX Engine
running as a native plugin. But here comes the hurdle:
Cordova-windows-8 is build on top of the Windows
HTML/JS/CSS stack not as a XAML APP. We were able to build
a Windows Runtime Component DLL in C++ but there we are
not able to access the XAML GUI to create a view as the
DirectX Rendering Context.
So are there any plans to port the cordova-windows-8 over
to a XAML APP like the cordova-windows-phone8?
