---------------------------
Thanks for the reply Brad. Your tuit is in the mail - you should receive it by
Thursday.
Another missing part of the plugin version puzzle is this: How is a user
expected to know when their installed plugin are out of date? Apart some
stumbling on some mention in a blog, or checking with the registry every day
for updates it is unclear to me what is the assumed mechanism.
Is this also something that the planned new CLI reporting feature will address?
For example, imagine something like this:
D:\IMAPS\work\trunk\SRC\IMAPSAgent3x>*cordova plugin info*
|org.apache.cordova.battery-status |0.2.4| latest|
|org.apache.cordova.camera |0.2.4| latest|

> CLI plugin list should show the version of the installed plugin
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-5259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5259
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Peter
> Priority: Minor
>
> The *cordova plugin* list operation would be more useful if it also displayed
> the _version_ of the currently installed plugin - to help user decide if they
> needed to upgrade said plugin or not. Currently seems only way to discover
> plugin versions is to manually look in the plugin.xml file of each plugin...
> Currently cordova plugin just shows the plugin id but a simple directory
> listing of plugins would acheive pretty much the same thing in my CLI
> project. For example,
> *cordova plugin*
> {code}
> D:\IMAPS\work\trunk\SRC\IMAPSAgent3x>cordova plugin
> [ 'org.apache.cordova.battery-status',
> 'org.apache.cordova.camera',
> 'org.apache.cordova.console',
> 'org.apache.cordova.contacts',
> 'org.apache.cordova.device',
> 'org.apache.cordova.device-motion',
> 'org.apache.cordova.device-orientation',
> 'org.apache.cordova.dialogs',
> 'org.apache.cordova.file',
> 'org.apache.cordova.file-transfer',
> 'org.apache.cordova.geolocation',
> 'org.apache.cordova.globalization',
> 'org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser',
> 'org.apache.cordova.media',
> 'org.apache.cordova.media-capture',
> 'org.apache.cordova.network-information',
> 'org.apache.cordova.splashscreen',
> 'org.apache.cordova.vibration' ]
