Description

The "Cordova Android Developer Tools" section talks about installing the dependencies however the package.json does not contain any dependencies. It contains a "bin" which maps command names to local file names.
"bin":

{ "create": "./create", "bench": "./bench", "autotest": "./autotest", "BOOM": "./BOOM", "test": "./test" }

1. The only command in the bin directory is create (and also update which is not in package.json bin).
The autotest and test exist in the cordova-cli project but only for ios.
I could not find bench or BOOM.

2. The create script is a bash script. There is also a create.js and create.bat for Windows which does not appear to require npm.
Is there any use for npm on Windows in cordova-android?

3. Is this how npm looks when correctly installed for cordova-android? Could it have failed somehow because the repository is pointing to incubator?
c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin>npm list npm WARN package.json cordova-android-cli@0.0.1 No README.md file found!
cordova-android-cli@0.0.1 c:\development\cordova-2.7.0\cordova-android\bin
└── (empty)

Note : npm runs successfully in cordova-js which has several dependencies installed and listed.
