I haven't used it in the last year, but I am convinced that it is very
useful especially for everyone starting with RAP development. It helps
creating and testing a RAP based (or: OSGi based) application in a very
short time.

Moving it to the RAP Tools project has another nice side effect: By moving
it from the Libra project (still in incubation state) to the RAP project it
would end as part of a mature project after a graduation review. This
definitively helps to advertise the tooling and to integrate it into one of
the EPP packages.

Thanks,
Markus
