Description

Blackberry dudes added a commit to plugin_loader.js that made the path to cordova_plugins.js absolute. This broke plugin loading for ios + android. See https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/commit/8d59461c6f796f2c88a0eae2467cc663897ccce9

I reverted that commit with https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/commit/757fa3c93d078fc9d1e393e671f81c6ed237bc06

It works again on Android and iOS. Issue that arises now is that cordova.js expects cordova_plugins.json to be in the same directory as it. If you have cordova.js in a js directory and cordova_plugins.json exists in a directory above, the plugin will not load because it won't be able to find cordova_plugins.

Can we reference cordova_plugins in a way that will work across platform?
