• client.js – The extension's public API
• index.js – Loaded by Cordova and only accessible across the cordova.exec bridge
• manifest.json – Metadata for the extension
• native – Contains all the native code for the JNEXT extension
• test
  • integration – test app spec using Jasmine browser tests
  • unit – unit tests using jasmine. Keeps the same folder structure as the code

Extensions are all under the plugin/ folder. An extension must at least contain the following:

• manifest.json – metadata for the extension
• client.js – Front facing API, this is injected into the App's content
• index.js – Controller loads this part of the API

If your extension requires native C/C++ code, a native JNEXT extension is needed. There is a sample and there are detailed docs.
