I'm writing a Plugman-compatible Cordova plugin. Installing it via Plugman, I've confirmed it installs correctly and runs normally:
plugman --platform android --project /platforms/android --plugin my/plugin.path
But if I use:
cordova build/cordova run android
it doesn't work even with plugin installed. This is because Plugman only installs my plugin js file to the /platforms/android/assets/www folder and not the base /www folder, so when I build, the /www folder without the plugin gets copied to /platforms/android/assets/www.
Is there an option or something in plugin.xml I should be specifying to install the plugin to the project root www folder?
When using Cordova CLI, you shouldn't install plugins using plugman. Cordova CLI does use plugman under the covers, but what you want to use is cordova plugins add http://... or cordova plugins add /path/to/plugin.xml.
You didn't specify which version of Cordova you are using, but here's some examples of adding plugins that are core functionality: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface
