>             Project: NPanday
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Maven Plugins, Visual Studio Add-in
>    Affects Versions: 1.4-incubating

> MSDeploy is an extensible tool for creating deployment packages, which then can be deployed to IIS (or Windows Services, e.g.)
> This is also a prerequisite for Azure Web Roles.
> h2. High-level Requirements
> - Must support Package creation
> - Must support full MSDeploy feature set (through -source:manifest?)
> - Must choose reasonable defaults for file inclusion
> - Must be configurable from the VS Add-in
> - Should support XDT transformations
> - Should support filtering (Maven-Properties)
> - Should support Parametrization (through -declareParamFile)
> - Should make it hard to let default connection strings and passwords "leak" into the package
> h2. Implementation Details
> - (?) instead of reinventing the wheel, we could utilize maven-assembly-plugin:single with package-type "dir"
> -- {color:red}or:{color} Syntax should be similar to maven-assembly-plugin; maybe code reuse is possible?
> -- Externalized descriptors for file-inclusions should be possible (NPanday then provides reasonable defaults)
> - Package type is named {{msdeploy-package}} with extension {{msdeploy.zip}} (must end with .zip)
> - XDT should be delegated to MSBuild (partially depends on NPANDAY-486)
> h2. Flow
> To test how this could work out, I used default Maven/NPanday tools + registration of {{msdeploy-package}} as {{msdeploy.zip}}. Then, as soon as we know how this should exactly work, we can start creating the needed plugins.
> *prepare-package*
>  - (/) {{assembly:single}} -> {{target/prepare-package/01-source-raw}}
>  -- includes {{dotnet-library}} dependencies in {{bin}}
>  -- includes *.as?x + config + css + js + graphics
>  - (/) {{exec:exec: msbuild copy-transformed.xml}} -> XDT-Transforms using *.package.config -> {{target/prepare-package/03-transformed}}
>  - (?) (Optional) {{exec:exec -> msdeploy}} - apply parameter configuration
>  -- This would avoid leaking developer default values into the package
>  
> *package*
>  - (/) {{exec:exec: msdeploy -verb:sync -source:dirPath=target/prepare-package/03-transformed -dest:package=target/$\{artifactId\}.msdeploy.zip}}
>  - (/) {{build-helper:attach}} artifact {{target/$\{artifactId\}.msdeploy.zip}} as {{msdeploy-package}}
> Build runs locally:
> {code}
> [INFO] Installing target\HelloWorld_WebRole.dll to .m2\...\HelloWorld_WebRole\1.0.0-SNAPSHOT\HelloWorld_WebRole-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.dll
> [INFO] Installing target\HelloWorld_WebRole.msdeploy.zip to .m2\...\HelloWorld_WebRole\1.0.0-SNAPSHOT\HelloWorld_WebRole-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.msdeploy.zip
> {code}
