Description

As far as I know, the syntax

    <plugins>
        <plugin version="1.0">ti.alloy</plugin>
    </plugins>

Loads the latest Alloy installation (globally installed through NPM). You can pass any value to version since it always maps correctly anyway. The attribute is currently redundant. Isn't it possible to maintain the same setup as with the Ti SDK, so that you can select which Alloy version you run? Like

        <plugin version="1.7.10">ti.alloy</plugin>

would use this (in this case also the latest) specific version of the plugin? It would make a lot more sense and give the user more control over possible bugs that might be easily evaded by downgrading Alloy (temporarily).

Hello Please refer to this [link](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/tiapp.xml_and_timodule.xml_Reference) on how to choose a specific alloy plugin. Thanks

I'm unsure how that link answers the question. I'm currently opening a thread on university.appcelerator.com because this seems like a really odd setup (i cant get it to work)
