So i've started some work on adding a "create" command to plugman w.r.t =
this JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4886

what i was thinking for workflow would be :

$ plugman create --name "PluginName" --plugin_id "The PluginID" =
--plugin_version "the plugin version" --variable description=3D"Some =
Cool Description"

You could add multiple variables such as author and license


The result would be a basic file structure set up, with a base JS file, =
and a very basic plugin.xml setup.


Then to add a platform,  there could be another command, which i'm =
having a hard time naming, like this


$ plugman platform --platform_name=3Dios

Then this would scaffold out some basic .h and .m files and add the =
"platform" tag to the plugin.xml

Android would do android specific stuff, etc=85

This should also probably be=20

$ plugman platform --add =85.

or=20

$ plugman platform --remove =85

but i haven't gotten that far yet.

I've updated my yeoman generator to use plugman behind the scenes and =
also to use my fork with these new changes

here is my current fork for yeoman =
https://github.com/lholmquist/cordova-plugman/tree/for_yeoman=20

i still need to add tests,  just wanted to see the thoughts first

Here is a shameless plug for my blog where i go into a bit more detail:  =
