Cordova Plugins are not loaded when they are not supported on certain platforms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-16644 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16644 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: aerogear-hybrid Affects Versions: 4.1.1.Final Reporter: Vineet Reynolds Fix For: 4.2.x Original Estimate: 0 minutes Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes I added the [Cordova StatusBar plugin|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugins/tree/master/statusbar] (supported on iOS and not on Android) to my HMT project. When run this project on an Android emulator, the statusbar plugin is not loaded by the tooling, even though a reference to the plugin is added to the starting page of the app - index.html. See the [referenced screenshot|http://www.screencast.com/t/Jq5wZWLI8Ho] as an example. This is not the case when using the Cordova CLI. The CLI commands ensure that the JS file for the StatusBar plugin is loaded on Android. While a 404 is not harmful in this case, it is certainly not recommended. As a note, we must try and match the Cordova CLI behavior as much as possible, and this is a slight deviation from it - the iOS-specific plugin is referenced in {{android/assets/www/cordova_plugins.js}} in the Android project but is not copied to the {{android/assets/www/plugins}} directory in the project.
