Improve task configuration/creation

[egamma]

• Command: Configure Task Runner
• Show Quick Box
  • Gulp (auto detect if possible)
  • Grunt
  • Jake
  • TypeScript compile
  • TypeScript specific file
  • TypeScript watch
  • msbuild
  • Dot net build
  • Generic Command (see below)
• Insert hard coded template (if not auto detected) based on the user selection
• Templates have a fwlink to the task.json documentation

Generic template

{
   // See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
   // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "A Command",  // specify the command to run
    "args": [
    ],
    "showOutput": "silent"
}

An npm scripts template would be nice to, as this has been asked here a couple of times and is used very often by projects. It is very simple, basically "command": "npm", "args": ["run"], but new users don't know what to do.

Done :-)

@egamma can you please verify.

verified - but I would have expected that the scripts are also detected as tasks targets.

I've filed enhancement request #4732 and marked this issue as verified.
