[thym-dev] Thym 2.0

["Gorkem Ercan" <gorkem.ercan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Following the approval of using Cordova CLI as a dependency I have 
started to work on Thym 2.0.
The biggest change is we are replacing our own implementation of build 
and plugin management
with Cordova CLI. This allows us to have more accurate and complaint 
builds and better plugin management
which have started to be a problem as Cordova CLI continues to change 
rapidly.

There are several significant changes due to adoption of Cordova CLI:

1. platforms: Cordova CLI keeps a platforms folder on the project tree 
where it keeps an up-to-date
copy of the each platform specific project. On Thym 1.0 the platform 
specific projects were generated
as needed outside the workspace.

As a consequence, The "Export cordova platform project" is not needed 
anymore and will be removed on 2.0.
Instead we may implement actions to open native projects on their 
designated IDEs such as Xcode etc.

2. With the shift to Cordova CLI our value add is now providing better 
user experience and guidance on
setting up the cordova development environment. I plan to implement a 
cheatsheets based system for
this purpose.

I am hoping to make the initial drop for Thym 2.0 this week, initially 
on a branch but I think we are
not far off and will be ready to merge to master around February.
