Hi everyone, Tim's post about not having a platform to run Visual Studio 2017 recently sparked a discussion between Duane, Ragnar and I about adding project and solution files for older versions of visual studio to the NMS AMQP Provider and were looking for guidance.
Currently, the project only contains visual studio 2017 project and solution files. This was chosen among other things to, 1) reduce the number of of project files by using the new csproj format multi-target framework capabilities, and 2) leverage the nuget package integration in the new csproj format. Other providers seem to contain whatever visual studio files they need to build. There were two points of discussion that we are looking guidance in. 1) Is visual studio 2017 too new to expected a wide variety of developers to be able to pickup and look at this project? Does anyone have any insight into this? 2) Is there an automated system that depends on building tools that predate visual studio 2017 equivalent build tools? Would it easier for CI builds if there were project/solution files that can be built with tools the predate vs2017? If this is not the right place to ask this, then where should I ask this? Based on the feedback from the above two points we'd like to come to a decision on adding project/solution files for previous Visual Studio versions for initial release of the new AMQP Provider. If anyone has any question about this please let me know. Chris Morgan ----- Chris Morgan -- Sent from: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-Dev-f2368404.html
