> Some context:
> I wanted to start using the mobile spec app for cordova. The problem is I didn't know which dependencies were required for the application.
> So I created a plugin which just lists some dependencies: 
> https://github.com/jbondc/cordova-plugin-mobile-spec
> > cordova create test
> > cordova platform add android
> >cordova plugin list
> No plugins added. Use `cordova plugin add <plugin>`.
> >cordova plugin add https://github.com/jbondc/cordova-plugin-mobile-spec
> >cordova plugin list
> [ 'org.apache.cordova.core.battery-status',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.camera',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.device',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.file',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.media-capture',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.mobile-spec' ]
> To test a modifications/patches to a specific plugin (media-capture), I wanted to do:
> >cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.core.media-capture
> [Error: Another top-level plugin (org.apache.cordova.core.mobile-spec) relies on plugin org.apache.cordova.core.media-capture, therefore aborting uninstallation
> .]
> A lot of dependency management systems (freebsd ports, debian packages) allow you to forcefully remove a dependency.
> That's what I'm proposing:
> >cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.core.media-capture -f
> >cordova plugin list
> [ 'org.apache.cordova.core.battery-status',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.camera',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.device',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.mobile-spec' ]
> >cordova plugin add F:\Jonathan\GitHub\Cordova\cordova-plugin-media-capture
> >cordova plugin list
> [ 'org.apache.cordova.core.battery-status',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.camera',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.device',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.media-capture',
>   'org.apache.cordova.core.mobile-spec' ]
> It makes it easier to add/remove a plugin even if some dependencies are not met.
