Developer Studio Project setup for Java EE doesn't allow EAR version 8 with JBoss EAP 7.2 runtime - java-ee-8

I am trying to setup a Java EE "Enterprise Application Project" in Developer Studio (version: 12.9.0.GA) with JBoss EAP 7.2 as the target runtime, but it will not allow me to select EAR version 8 (the drop-down list only goes to EAR version 7.0).
The JBoss EAP 7.2 release note claims "JBoss EAP 7.2 is certified for use with Red Hat Developer Studio 12" (OK so it doesn't say developer studio is certified for use with EAP 7.2)
Is there a way around this or do I have to wait for a developer studio update?
In the mean time it looks like I will have to continue using WildFly for my EE8 project runtime.

How can I target Android 4.1 in Visual Studio 2019?

I have VS2017 and VS2019 installed side by side on my Windows 10 machine.
I can not compile Xamarin Android 4.1 projects (in VS2019) unless I upgrade them to 4.4 which seems to be the minimum Android SDK version I can target in VS2019. VS2017 compiles fine.
If I create a new Xamarin Android project in VS2019 I can select from 4.4 and above, but in VS2017 I can target right back to 2.3.
Both Visual Studio Xamarin settings are pointing to the same location for the android-sdk (which is on my D: drive, but I did copy it to the standard install location to verify it was not using this as a default, which made no difference)
VS2019 Minimum Android Version
VS2017 Minimum Android Version
Is it possible to target Android 4.1 using VS2019?
Use the following when making decisions with your Android versions:
minSdkVersion (lowest possible) <=
targetSdkVersion == compileSdkVersion/TargetFrameworkVersion (latest SDK)
It's also worthwhile to consider the Android Dashboard to understand how many devices are running a specific version of Android.
https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards
Selecting a higher "Compile using Android version" still lets the project compile.
Under the Android Manifest tab, you can still select the older Minimum and Target Android version allowing VS2019 to be used with this solution/project that uses an older Target Version.
Per the tooltip, Target Framework is only used at runtime.

VS2019 without Windows 8.1 SDK

I'm trying to run an already functional application that requires the Windows 8.1 SDK.
I installed Visual Studio 2019, but there is no option in the 8.1 SDK.
This is for a Windows 10 using Visual Studio 2019 last update.
On my old computer, there was the option to select in "Individual Components", but now no longer the encounter. Does anyone know if there is no such support on VS2019? Or is it necessary to install something more for the support to appear?
This is expected as it is marked as deprecated in Visual Studio 2019:
The Windows 8.1 SDK is no longer available in the Visual Studio
installer. Please upgrade your C++ projects to the latest Windows 10
SDK. If you have a hard dependency on 8.1, you can download it from
the Windows SDK archive.
So download and install the SDK from here.

SDK version and installation in Websphere 8.5.5.13

I have installed WebSphere 8.5.5 and then updated it to WAS 8.5.5.13 .
Now I am installing SDK 8.0.3 , it is not installing saying
Your operating system failed the prerequisites check because it is below the recommended minimum level for this product. For more information about supported operating systems, see the IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0 detailed system requirements Web pages - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045339
Please let me know how should I proceed further.
The issue is sorted.

Build Windows app compatible for 8.1 and 10

Background:
I am new to Windows app development.
I have installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition free trial on two machines. (One is running win 8.1 OS and other having win 10 OS)
Then, downloaded windows 10 sdk and mobile emulators.
I have created a webview based UWP app which is targeting windows 10.
Problem:
Built UWP app is running perfectly on Windows 10 OS with mobile emulators target version windows 10.
Now, I want the app to run on both windows 8, 8.1 and windows 10 phones.
I have installed windows 10 and windows 8.1 sdk on both machines.
But, it is not allowing me to create a new project to specify minimum sdk version as 8 or 8.1.
Is there any way to target both 8.1 and 10 versions for mobile with single app, with minimum efforts?
Please suggest.
Here is a summary that which VS can build which app models:
VS2019 - UWP (Except for Win10Mobile)
VS2017 - UWP
VS2015 - UWP, Win8.1 StoreApp, WP8/8.1 StoreApp
VS2013 - Win8/8.1 StoreApp, WP8/8.1 StoreAp
(Assume that dev system is Win10 and ignoring the Win32 or others)
(Note - To use the latest Win10 FallCU SDK, you need to use VS2017 or 2019)
For detail, please refer the vs compatibility page:
VS2019
VS2017
VS2015
VS2013
You need to create an app using Windows 8 SDK if you want to target Windows 8 and above versions.
UWP will not work for you because minimum requirement for UWP is Windows 10.

Windows Installer project is unsupported in Visual Studio 11 BETA

It says that my windows installer project is unsupported. "ProjectType" = "8:{978C614F-708E-4E1A-B201-565925725DBA}" is in vdproj file. Can i work with it in VS11 beta?
You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.
I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):
Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects
To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.
