Abstract: Techniques and a graphical user interface for abstracting a request from a development environment to an object model of an object store are disclosed herein. A request for data is made by the development environment, and the request is abstracted to make in compatible with the object model (e.g., by negating properties related to bitness, versioning, etc.). The request is transmitted to a broker process that retrieves a method and/or data commands corresponding to the request. The broker process may also decode one or more method parameters of the request. If one or more method parameters are not compatible with the object model, an adapter may be loaded into the object model to make the object model compatible with the request. The broker process may also transmit the method, data commands, and/or request to the object model wherein the request is fulfilled by the object model.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to deployment scripts. In aspects, in conjunction with creating a package for deploying software to a target, an installation script is also created. The installation script includes instructions for deploying the software in the package to one or more targets. The installation script is human-readable and readily modifiable. A software development tool may provide a seamless interface that allows a software developer to view, edit, execute, and debug the installation script on a local or remote target.

Abstract: Dynamic collaborative project extensibility is provided via composition containers in a managed extensibility framework within an integrated development environment. A browser-based collaborative environment project is extended, using an extension artifact factory to obtain extension artifacts within composition containers. A class library project can be configured with a custom action, a browser-based collaborative environment project extension artifact can be created representing the custom action, and a factory class for the project extension artifact can then be created with an export attribute for discovery within a composition container.
