Project Description
This "Oslo" based deployment framewok allows you to describe your application in text form and let the runtime process it.
The framework employs a plug-in model to process your source code, initial plug-ins will support generating MSBUILD files as well as deloying locally.
The curent iteration of BTSDF provides the main command line tool to parse and process a source file in the textual DSL format.
As no two projects are a like, and different companies have different build and deploy requirements/procedures and processes, we think there's a lot of power in being able to plug-in your very own depoyment generator, but without having to define your own language and so we're looking for companies and individuals to build their own plug-ins to work with this runtime and we can only hope these will be added here or on a separate codeplex project.
Never-the-less, over the next few weeks we will look to publish a couple of basic, yet complete, plug-ins to deploy a BizTalk applications - one to generate MSBuild script that can be used to deploy an application and the other uses the BizTalk API and/or command line tools to deploy an application locally.
