Description

We've recently started to use the newer project structure recommended for the Android Tools. The basic idea is

/platforms/android
  /build.gradle
  /settings.gradle
  /etc...
  /cordova
  /CordovaLib
  /APP_NAME
    /build.gradle
    /src
      /main
        /assets
        /res
        /java
          /...

When you try to run cordova plugin add ..., it assumes you have the assets, res, and src at the root of the Android directory. Is there any way to change this expectation, since the newer projects are kind of expected to be this way? I acknowledge that the Android cmd line tool doesn't do this yet, but you can't expect Google to keep up with their own tools.
