generated_main.dart should using alias import #100421
Description
Use case
Since flutter generate generated_main.dart inside .dart_tool/flutter_build for every plugins that implement dartPluginClass, there was possible issue when two or more different plugins has same dartPluginClass.
Proposal
To avoid conflicts in _PluginRegistrant.register method, we can use alias imports e.g
import 'package:foo/foo.dart' as p1;
import 'package:bar/bar.dart' as p2;
...
then we call registerWith method like this
p1.SomePluginClass.registerWith();
p2.SomePluginClass.registerWith();

@stuartmorgan WDYT about this proposal. it sounds reasonable to me.

Yes, that was just an oversight. We should import
as {{pluginName}}in the template.stuartmorgan-g commentedon Aug 2, 2023
@ekasetiawans Have you hit this with actual plugins in the wild? If so, we should prioritize fixing this.

@stuartmorgan Not yet, but this has the potential to become an issue. You can fix it later.
