Description

The following JS snippet fails with "failed to get www directory":

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.applicationDirectory, function(appDir) {
appDir.getDirectory('www',

{create:false}

, function(wwwDir)

{ console.log("success!"); }

, function()

{ console.log("failed to get www directory"); }

);
}, function() {
console.log("Failed to get application directory");
});

I narrowed it down to AssetFilesystem.java's listAssets() method called from isDirectory() which returns the "new String[0];" (assetPath = 'www/' in this method) which in turn causes isDirectory() to return false.
