Use Visual Studio SDK to build VSIX packages #73

Closed Andy-Wilkinson closed 8 years ago

Andy-Wilkinson commented 9 years ago

Currently a custom build script Is used to build the Visual Studio Extension (VSIX) package. Following the introduction of Visual Studio Community edition you can now use the Visual Studio SDK to build these packages. Advantages include: easier editing experience, better testing support, more robust build process.

After evaluating the Visual Studio SDK, the support for building VSIX packages is quite limited. In particular sharing of code between multiple item/project templates is quite difficult. In contrast the custom Okra VSIX build process provides an easily automatable way of generating packages. Therefore the existing build process will remain for the current time.
