Let me see if I can add some more details here. There are ECMA specs for the C# language, the Common Language Runtime (CLR), and Base Class Libraries (BCL; System.* namespaces). There are more details here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/ecma/
Now, on top of this Microsoft puts out a .Net Runtime (which includes an implementation for ECMA standards, and a lot of proprietary classes and binaries), and a .Net SDK. When talking about the .net core, we really need context. I think coming from a Microsoft person, the core is what is distributed in the Microsoft .Net Runtime and SDK. But I would consider the "core" to be the ECMA standards and an implementation. I'm not sure about the details of how and where microsoft is planning on inserting the build stuff. I suspect it will probably go into the System.Build.* namespaces (or somewhere around there) making it something that is logically an extension of the BCL, but will not be in the BCL spec that has been proposed to, or ratified from, ECMA. Please correct me if I'm off here. I also don't know if the people at microsoft have yet decided where this stuff is going. From what I gather this stuff is still in early beta. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Bodewig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 1:53 AM Subject: Re: [nant-dev] FYI > On Tue, 4 Nov 2003, Scott Hernandez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think the plan is to roll MSBuild (engine and some basic tasks) > > into the framework distribution (but probably not into the Base > > Class Libraries that are defined in the public ECMA spec). > > OK, makes sense from a certain perspective, I guess. > > > This would effectively mean that it is part of the .net core, but > > not a public api. > > I'm still much more a Java developer and quite unfamiliar with the > .NET nomenclature.
