My Christmas wish: BSP tools for ABAP in Eclipse

I would really like to see BSP authoring tools available in the Eclipse tools.

Yes, I know we have SAPUI5 now, but that means you have to use SAPUI5. What if I want to use JQuery Mobile or Dojo or some other library of my choosing and I want to use a BSP application as container and create my own controllers etc.?

This would offer great flexibility for customers and developers.

Together with that, it would be nice to have MIME repository integration in Eclipse as well, so that I could, for example, put all my third-party libraries in one location in the MIME repository and just reference them in my BSP project.

Hi Martin,

I fully support this request. With BSP tooling AIE would be much more useable in a CRM setting.

For anyone interested:

At the time I started this thread on SCN, I wrote a post where I explain how I do request forwarding to a SAP server when locally hosting a web application for test purposes.

This has some advantages:

  • Very quick development in the IDE of your choice
  • Testing with real SAP data
  • Using any JS library you want in a BSP container

See the post here: http://ceronio.net/2013/11/forwarding-local-ajax-requests-to-an-sap-abap-server-with-nginx/

ADS has something similar built in, but I never tried it. As explained in the post, I was doing something not in SAPUI5.
