Martin Bektchiev commented on CB-7015:
--------------------------------------
This would make updates and hard to track incompatibilities such as
https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/pull/251 far more rare.
> Support copying a lib-file from the SDK directory

> Key: CB-7015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7015
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugman
> Reporter: Martin Bektchiev
> Priority: Minor
>
> Many plugins need to refer to JARs from the Android SDK. They currently embed
> a copy of the respective files in them and install it into the application's
> libs/ directory. This however might create incompatibility issues with other
> plugins which may use the same or dependent JARs.
> A good alternative would be to be able to specify a relative path to the SDK
> directory in <lib-file> as it is now possible with the <framework> element
> with custom=false.
> E.g.
> <source-file src="src/android/com/plugin/android-support-v13.jar"
> target-dir="libs/" />
> could become
> <lib-file src="extras/android/support/v13/android-support-v13.jar"
> from-sdk="true" />
> in
> https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin/blob/54e59bce6092ec44fe2005c166350fd85e75449b/plugin.xml#L64
