[after some more thinking about it]
I feel it is not OK when a launch configuration behaves differently depending on the project nature. The Eclipse way is to implement a Launch Shortcut [1] for every supported nature. In this case the Launch Configuration Dialog stays the same as it is shown on the screenshot, but it is automatically prefilled with necessary values when the user clicks on a project context menu->Run As->CordovaSim Application.

> Launch configurations is the conventional way to run applications in Eclipse. The idea of the feature proposal is to create a specific launch configuration allowing to run Cordova enabled projects in CordovaSim.
> The launch configuration might have the following attributes:
> # Root folder (e.g. {{/myProject/www}})
> # Start page (e.g. {{index.html}})
> # Port number for embedded Jetty server (e.g. {{4400}}). This port will be visible in the BrowserSim address bar.
> The launch configuration might be automatically configured for:
> # Projects with the JBoss Tools Cordova nature which has {{www/index.html}}.
> # Projects with the Android nature which has {{assets/www/index.html}}.
> # Any {{.html}} file selected by the user.
> # Any folder selected by the user if it has an {{index.html}} in it.
