This is what the normal jquery plugin shell looks like

1.jquery.plugin.js

/**
 This is what the normal jquery plugin looks like. 
 The problem with that is that jQuery is expected to be a global. 
 However we provide jQuery as a module and, more importantly, we do not allow it to slip into the global scope. 
*/
(function($,undefined){

       //this is where the plugin goes

})(jQuery);

2.made.into.module.js

/**
 And this is how you can define it as a module. 
 Basically wrap it in a define statement, requiring jQuery as a dependency
*/

define(['jquery-1'], function(jQuery){

   (function($,undefined){

       //this is where the plugin goes

    })(jQuery);

});

3.implementation.js

/**
 And this is how you consume the module and use the plugin inside it. 
 NOTE: in your path to the plugin.js file you do not include the '.js'
*/

require(["jquery-1","/path/to/local/scripts/plugin"], function($) {

   $(function() {

        // $.myPlugin() is available

   });


});

hahaha! Pete!
