Menu Support for BlackBerry/Android
Were/are we planning to add support for the menu buttons on these two
platforms? Is this something that would be in phonegap-core, or strictly
plugins? I believe Michael Brooks was working on a cross-platform menu
plugin at some point.
Apologies if this has been answered in phonegap-dev or on a previous call;
just wanted the most current information.
Cheers,
Andrew

Can't wait to see it. We gotta get this Apache move done and get on with

Hey Andrew,
Yea, we created a PhoneGap plugin called phonegap-plugin-menu that
implemented the W3C Menu Spec. It runs on Android, BlackBerry (5+), and
Android. Would be nice to add webOS too.
Like Shaz mentioned, it's currently a private repo. During the Nitobi/Adobe
acquisition, we were hesitant to open source new projects. It would be nice
to clear up the final issues are get this released to the public. For iOS,
it's a significant improvement to the currently "NativeControls" plugin.
There has been talk of adding the menu as a core plugin. It would be great!
However, the plugin could certainly benefit from more real-world usage.

Joe merged in some of this code that is required on android for the
menu plugin to work properly... joe?
It should be core at some point since it's done according to the HTML5
menu element (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-menu-element)

Andrew,
Yes we already have something working for iOS, Android and BB and it's
currently in a private repo, with one issue left (delete, I believe)
to work out. I wilI helped with the iOS version. We could always put
it in the plugins repo and graduate it to core later.
