Description

Yes it's super silly but the node create script should fail if user enters in: "CordovaActivity" as an activity name since we inherit from a class that has that name. Might also apply to package names.

steps to reproduce

./bin/create /path/to/project mypackage.name CordovaActivity

Results:

-compile:
