Description

Background

• The 'SolutionDir' macro is used in several *.CSPROJ files.
• This macro is IDE/Visual-Studio specific (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c02as0cs.aspx)
• To run MSBuild outside of the VS-solution, these macros needs to be defined.

Problem

• 'SolutionDir' isn't defined in all MSBuild project file.
• 'SolutionDir' doesn't denote a folder-path (i.e. end with a '\').

Solution

• Define a fallback value for 'SolutionDir', in relevant MSBuild project files.
• Add a backslash to 'SolutionDir'.

Side Note:

I discovered that there's a broken dependency (build-break) while testing the Single-FatNuget (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/REEF-1741) has the correct set of references.
