    Sure, I work on a [project](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js) that [requires its package.json](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/blob/817c7038c0be0d66a68d4c1f5d5e99678017186b/src/SIP.js#L10-L19). In order to make the project usable as a Cordova plugin, I had to copy the relevant portions of package.json into a separate file, [cordova_package.json.js](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/commit/0862df7c825b27f90a5665f584334b232eddf644#diff-0), then [specify *that* file as the src of the "package.json" module](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/commit/0862df7c825b27f90a5665f584334b232eddf644#diff-53f390d375398624afe1cfe1125f42bfR7).
    
    If plugin modules could be .json files, I could just specify package.json as the src of the module, instead of needing to manually synchronize cordova_package.json.js with package.json.
    
    I opened [CB-7278](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7278) on JIRA, as well.
