Jacob S. Barrett commented on GEODE-2467:
-----------------------------------------

Are you intending to break VS 2013 or just ensure that 2015 and 2017 work as well?

>                 Key: GEODE-2467
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2467
>             Project: Geode
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: native client
>            Reporter: Michael Martell
>
> This task is to support building the native client with newer versions of Visual Studio including VS 2015 and VS 2017.
> Reasons include:
> 1) with 2017 release date of March 7 just announced, this makes a 2013 basd build really old
> 2) stronger C++11/14/17 support
> 3) dotNetty requires newer tool chains, and nice to use a single tool
> 4) much better built-in git support
> 5) there are no source changes required, only tweak is to xerces CMakeLists.txt
