Support Windows Azure Projects and Packaging
--------------------------------------------
Key: NPANDAY-480
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-480
Project: NPanday
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Maven Plugins, Visual Studio Add-in
Affects Versions: 1.4-incubating
Environment: Visual Studio 2010 + Windows Azure Tools + MVN 2/3
Reporter: Lars Corneliussen
Assignee: Lars Corneliussen
We want to build and package Azure Projects using NPanday. What that exactly
means still has to be figured out here.
h2. High-level requirements
* NPanday Addin must support Azure project types (*.ccproj +
ServiceConfiguration)
* NPanday must support Azure Packaging Type (-> *.cspkg) including an
appropriate lifecycle until package-phase (publish is excluded!)
* NPanday should resolve all roles though Maven dependency mechanism.
* Azure roles must be able to reference other libraries through normal NPanday
dependency mechanisms
* The addin must be able to import Azure Projects ccproj (generate poms)
* The addin must be able to track changes on Azure Projects (Add/Remove Roles)
* The addin must be able to import C#4 Azure Web Role ASP.NET Projects
*Optional?*
* The addin should be able to import .NET 4.0/C# Azure ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Role
Projects
* The addin should be able to import .NET 4.0/C# Azure ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Role
Projects
* The addin should be able to import .NET 4.0/C# Azure Web Role Silverlight
Business Application Projects
* The addin should be able to import .NET 4.0/C# Azure WCF Service Web Role
Projects
* The addin should be able to import .NET 4.0/C# Azure Worker Role Projects

All six Azure project types also exist for VB (.NET 4.0), four of them also run
on .NET 3.5 (MVC 3 and Silverlight are not available on .NET 3.5).
Which combinations are required?

h2. Implementation Details
Just some notes:
* It seems like MSBuild CCPack task handles the packaging:
(on my machine: {{{C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.6}}}
* (!) It looks like Azure Packaging also packages the WebRoles by obtaining the
files to be packaged from the MSBUILD PROJECT FILES!!!
* (?) The question then is if and how we can replaces these with our own
resolvers. And if we integrated it with MSDeploy-packages (CSPack doesn't seem
to care about MSDeploy packages)
* more to come...
