Martin Bektchiev commented on CB-7015: -------------------------------------- The <framework> element is already used for referring an Android library project. That's why I suggest to keep using the <lib-file> element for JARs. But you're right instead of a "from-sdk" attribute we could use a "framework" attribute. > 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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
