Dear all,
I pray that you are well.
I just submitted a draft PR for a new Bndtools feature - converting .launch files into .bndrun files. I am looking for some intrepid users who wouldn’t mind trying it out and offering feedback.
bndtools:master ← kriegfrj:launch-to-bndrun

This PR is a proof-of-concept. It will take a PDE `.launch` file and convert it … into a `.bndrun`. The final `.bndrun` might still need some manual tweaking. It also assumes that you've done the work to convert the PDE target platform definition into Bnd respositories in your workspace.
There are two parts:
1. `biz.aQute.bnd.pde`, which contains the actual utility that does the conversion;
2. A context menu addition so that when you right-click on an `xxx.launch` file, you will have a menu item "Generate bndrun...". If you select it, it will create a corresponding `xxx.bndrun` file using the `biz.aQute.bnd.pde` library.
I am interested in feedback of all types. Is this a useful addition? Is the name appropriate? Is it in the right package? Should it be in its own bundle or rolled into another?
Thanks!
