Description

This isn't supported cross-platform, but did work on Android before the recent refactorings. We should deprecate it and remove support in 6 months.

A a new Plugin class extends the org.apache.cordova.api.Plugin class and over rides the isSync method. The method is setup to return "true" every time. When the method is calls from the JavaScript side like this:

var returnValue = cordova.exec(null, null, "PluginName", "method", [ "property" ]);

The value of "returnValue" is "undefined".
