No problem max, I know this problem:)

I'm sorry but I don't understand very well what you mean. Tern plugin
doesn't use the native javascript library,
so he can work without the javascript library. JSON Type definition is a
JSON which describes the structure of your library
(document has getElementById method, etc). Some JS framework like jQuery
can be described just with this JSON.

tern plugin uses JSON Type Definition and add some feature like managing a
new scope per file (usefull for node.js plugin),managing effect (create an
instance of FileSystem when require('fs') is called).

Cool.

Exactly!

I do that at hand because :

1) I have just discovered that we can have submodule with Git.
2) I have forked angular.js, so I don't know very well how I can manage
that with fetch.

No it doesn't work like this (perhaps in the future of tern.java, using npm
could be interested to update the tern plugin).

It should be really cool to do that in order to provide several version of
cordova.js. I have an idea too, to provide a wizard kind to generate tern
plugin version from sources.
