Change Cordova project detection.
See original GitHub issueFeature Request
Motivation Behind Feature
Currently a Cordova project is detected by the config.xml and the folder www (empty or not).
The www folder is a deployment folder which should not included in git repo. You only use the www as source folder if you develop vanilla html and js without any framework. But the real life scenario is that you build an app with e.g. Angular, Vue, React, etc. and set the www as dist-folder.
Feature Description
Cordova should detect its project workspace by the config.xml or package.json only. Not the www-folder.
Alternatives or Workarounds
I have to ensure the existence of the temp folder www. But this is a pain.

And I think we should check for
wwwbefore trying to build or run.I think not having to rely on the presence of the
wwwfolder is a reasonable request. But before that change can be implemented sanely, we have to DRY our implementations of the methods to find the Cordova project root.Currently we have this implemented similarly (if not identically) in at least:
cordova-lib/src/cordova/util.jscordova-common/src/CordovaCheck.jscordova-serve/src/util.jswhere the version in
cordova-commonis not actually used anywhere AFAICT.
