I know the grunt plugin 'grunt-nwabap-ui5uploader', to deploy an UI5 webapp to the netweaver ABAP system. Therefor I can use any IDE to develop and push my apps to the system. In my case I would love to use Visual Studio Code. Is there any plugin to do the similar but retrieve the existing bsp application, similar as ithe eclipse plugin for UI5 development. Or is it even possible to develop?

Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 2:44One way to do it is to import the application from the SAP Netwaever systems BSP repository into the SAP WebIDE which serves for SAPUI5 and Fiori development.
Then you export to your computer as a zip:
Prerequisites: if you work with UI5 apps, you should have access to SAP WebIDE by your company already, which is the standard tool to manage UI5 and Fiori applications. SAP WebIDE is connected via Cloud Connector to your Netweaver ABAP system.
There is however a manual way to do this for individual file access: You log on to SAP via SAP GUI and start transaction SE80, where you have access to the BSP repository, which serves as a storage for UI5 applications:
You can also dump the app to text files executing report BSP_EXPORT_CLASSES in transaction SE38. Here enter the name of the BSP application found in SE80. Good luck!
