Computer software applications may be separated into components and distilled into functional and identifying attributes, which may then be used to regenerate the computer software application on a different system. A component of a computer software program is received. From the component, one or more functional attributes describing the operation of the component on a first operating platform are distilled from which the component can be generated to operate on one or more operating platforms. Attributes identifying the component are identified. The functional attributes and the identifying attributes of the component are stored in a distillation store. From the distillation store, using information about a selected operating platform on which the computer software program is to be executed, components of the computer software program may be generated to execute on the selected operating platform.

Application dehydration, synchronization, and rehydration

Generating a digital signature of an entire embedded code project is provided while maintaining certain exclusion areas so that a productivity application can incorporate application-specific information into the embedded code project without hampering the digital signature. A tree structure of data may be serialized into a data stream. The tree structure may include multiple branches and one or more elements identified as an exclusion area. A digital signature of the data stream may be created and included in a document associated with the tree structure.
