Force a Solution to be Deployed to 15 Hive and not 14 Hive?

Question

How do you Force a Solution to be Deployed to 15 Hive and not 14 Hive?

If the solution was Created in Visual Studio 2010 you would add SharePointVersion=”15.0″ attribute in Solution’s manifest.xml file to force it to deploy in 15 Hive instead of 14 Hive.If the Solution however is Created in Visual Studio 2012 you don’t need to do anything it gets deployed to 15 Hive by default.
