Hi Marcel, I think, without that Bndtools integration, there is a gap between the developement and the production runtime environment. It has been proven to be a good habit to use the same runtime for developement and production.
Sure - ACE is an intermediate step between the application under developement and the IDE, but such an integration would be a door opener since only a view runtimes / app containers support IDE integrations but would suppot an OBR.
