             Summary: Don't rebuild whole project when only /www/ content was 
changed
                 Key: CB-9993
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9993
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI
         Environment: all platforms
            Reporter: Philipp Kursawe


The {{code > build > run}} cyle can be very long and frustrating to work with.

The CLI should not re-build the platform files when only the content of the 
/www/ folder has changed. It should also not even copy the contents of the 
/www/ folder to each platform folder but but just reference it in place in the 
targets project file. This would make the use of browserify or webpack much 
easier.

Coming from the Windows world and its Windows Store Apps the above mentioned 
cycle is practically instant run. There is no build/compilation step involved 
in normal HTML/JS Store apps. I'd like to see that behaviour in Cordova apps 
too.

When the config is changed the target projects files might be adjusted too. CLI 
could save a simple file hash for the config.xml and not re-generate the 
platform projects when the hash is the same.
