Hi Filipe,
My first idea was to pass an empty string as the argument but that
doesn't work. However, as a workaround you can use
kcoreaddons_add_plugin(foo INSTALL_NAMESPACE "." JSON foo.json SOURCES
${foo_SRCS})
Although probably we should try to install as little as possible into
the plugin directory and instead use specific subdirectories for each
kind of plugin.
