Cordova project is moving the cordova plugin registry (CPR) to npm. As part of the transition CPR will become first read only and eventually go offline.

JBoss Tools uses the CPR to install plugins hence needs to start using the new npm registry and make a release before CPR goes offline.

Current tentative timeline is
CPR Switch to read only: Monday, May 18th
NPM fetch becomes default: Monday, May 18th
CPR offline: Monday, August 17th (We have asked to move this date 3 months further)
