Joe Bowser updated CB-6727:
---------------------------

    Component/s: CLI
         Labels: build  (was: build easyfix)

This is actually not an easy fix, and goes back to how the platforms ideally need to be treated as a build artifact.

> When I moved my project to another computer my cordova project stopped building. Error was due to the imported ant buildfile of Android SDK was not found. I saw that local.properties file in platforms/android folder contains a fixed path, and thought that if I comment it out, sdk.dir would be taken from environment; but it wasn't the case. After extensive searching and looking through verbose output, I found out that platforms/android/CordovaLib contains another properties file. After changing the path there problem solved.
> My suggestion to this problem would be that, since these are generated file and not really meant to be changed, defaults should remain in those files but they should be overridden by environment variables. I guess this would solve this portability issue with respect to development environment.
