    Same sort of deal, we could push the responsibility for figuring out the 
locations to the builders, rather than have the Api function worry about each 
possible implementation of a project structure.

> Currently our existing Android projects have the old Android Project 
> structure created by default, even for new projects, which makes no sense 
> since we no longer support Eclipse as the default project editor and have 
> moved to Android Studio for Android development.
> The main reason for doing this is to clean up dependencies and to allow for 
> projects and dependencies to work more like how modern Android projects work 
> and to remove as much custom Gradle code as possible.  This would also allow 
> us in the future to move towards having Android Plugin code work as Android 
> Libraries with Resources instead of just copying things across, which gives 
> us the ability to add JUnit tests and bundled resources.  This would 
> dramatically increase the quality of plugins such as InAppBrowser, and third 
> party plugins such as the Barcode Scanner.
> This would have to be done on the next major version, and the upgrade would 
> be tricky to do.  However, the benefits at this point would greatly outweigh 
> the costs of maintaining the old project structure.  The old cordova-common 
> code in Cordova-Android 5.0.x would allow for plugins in the short term to 
> work with both projects until we get the new project structure ready.
