yes, that's it. it happened to a collegue on mine.

i think that would be a preferable default.

you sure must have mentioned that at one point, because in rkwarddev 0.07-1 
(2015-03-13) i added an option ("require.defaults=TRUE") to rk.XML.pluginmap() 
that does that by default ;-) it also adds
 <require map="rkward::embedded" />.

so at least plugins generated with rkwarddev >= 0.07-1 should be fine already.

PS: thanks to some feedback from alfredo i was able to improve the workflow 
for embedding plugins in rkwarddev a bit. there's also a new function 
rk.JS.methods() which is hopefully useful if you want to append JS method 
calls to objects in your code. we'll have to test whether a new S4 class would 
be useful here, it currently just returns a character string.
