Hi Jochen, I think a package manager for ABL components would be a very valuable tool to have. An ABL NuGet, npm , … Challenge is not so much to implement the package manager. One challenge is to define which kind of artifacts to deliver and how to integrate that into existing projects. A PL is only able to contain (in a useful way) R-Code. But components might provide include file as source code etc and other files (config files, JSON, XML, XSD, Images, …). IMHO it’s no option, that every imported component should add a large number of folders to the propath . One PL in the PROPATH per component would be desirable, more like an assembly in .NET which can contain various resources. So once a PL is upgraded, a package manager would be much simpler to implement. Or maybe NuGet or npm might be used in their current form already.
