Android won't compile org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser

[Jeff Emminger]

If I add the org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser plugin, I can't compile an android build.  I get this error:

-compile:

I've got android sdks: 22, 20, 19, 17 installed.  Phonegap 4.2 something.  

I ended up upgrading to Phonegap 5.0 and now the plugin compiles properly.
