I am trying to implement the WebIntent plugin for Phonegap as part of my Android application.
During this week, I downloaded the latest version of WebIntent, and it has not been updated for about six months, so I think it is as relevant as possible. I am using version 2.9 of Phonegap.
WebIntent does not work for me, and in my Eclipse interface it says that the Plugin class is deprecated:
This answer here in Stack Overflow indicates that I should use "CordovaPlugin" instead, but Eclipse seems to be even smaller:
I'm not sure if this is the reason WebIntent fails, but it looks like this is a very likely suspect. What to do to clear this file from any errors?
Also, I don't know if this is related, but there is another line in the code that triggers another “scattered” warning:
So it may be that WebIntent needs a more general fix or something like that.
Anyway, I just want WebIntent to work. Advice on how to do this, whether fixing this plugin error or not, would be very helpful.
Update: I tried to edit the code using "CordovaPlugin", but I still get errors.
The lines to which I get errors are as follows:

This is the whole file:
