Description

Now createmobilespec uses dependency plugin to specify the list of plugins to install.

This approach has some limitations, for example after the app is created the user cannot remove particular plugin because they all are listed as dependencies of dependency plugin.

Though developers could want to add custom plugin(s) to mobile spec for testing. Also some plugins could not be supported under particular platform and should not be installed.

My proposal is to replace dependency plugin with new command line parameter for createmobilespec to specify plugin list through CLI.
