1. A method for retargeting a software application comprising the steps of:

  • providing a development environment, the development environment comprising a processing unit coupled to a memory;

    receiving input from a user to write application logic for a project using the development environment;

    receiving a selection from the user to save the project as a particular type;

    targeting the project by wrapping the application logic with metadata that is appropriate for the particular type of project to create at least one resulting file, the at least one resulting file comprising the appropriate metadata for the particular type and the application logic, the at least one resulting file created with an appropriate extension, wherein the application logic is configured to be retargeted to a second type at a later point in time;

    determining if the resulting file needs compiled;

    if the resulting file is determined to need compiled, then compiling the resulting file into a compiled application; and

    retargeting the application by wrapping the application logic with metadata that is appropriate for the second type to create at least one second resulting file, the second type is a different project type than the particular type.
