Hi Elizabeth Gutt,
thanks for the latest news concerning SAP WebIDE.
As you said:
We still didn't found replacements for:
- SAP UI5 library templates
- easy way to use local resources (libraries) from the IDE while running an app (in WebIDE: "run config -> use my workspace first")
Best regards,
Hendrik
Hi Hendrik,
maybe to Your first question this can be helpful:

Hello all.
I agree with Hendrik question.
For some reason, webIDE is able to run applications through a configuration.js file, but BAS cannot. Therefore, not all projects can be transferred.
Hello Elizabeth,
2 years ago WebIDE was pulled out from SAP store, being said there are no more legacy UI5 apps, however it was not the case. Customers were left with no alternatives not having the latest system versions. Does BAS finally support creation of extension projects for legacy UI5 apps, what was possible only with SAP WebIDE on Neo ? I think it was put on on the roadmap finally to support this ?
Thank You
Hi Attila,
Please expect that within the month. (BAS support of extension projects for legacy UI5 apps).
Thanks, Yuval
Hi Yuval Anafi ,
thanks for the update!
Best regards,Attila
Where can i find that functionality? Haven't found anything in BAS
Hello Jens,
please have a look at Extend Using Extension Projects.
Best regards, Oliver
For creating extension projects, see "If any of the above conditions don't apply, an SAPUI5 extension project will be created instead." in Extending an SAP Fiori Application for an On-Premise System.
