Idea / RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this enhancement request but unfortunately on this occasion we do not intend to take this idea forward. Applications and libraries as groupings for artifacts deployed to the product runtime have been a core part of our architectural strategy since they were first introduced ten years ago as part of WMBv8. Since that time, we have tried to encourage the use and adoption of applications by all users who have previously used independent resources defined in integration projects. As noted, in ACEv11 and ACEv12 you can still deploy older BAR files that contain independent resources, but these are deliberately placed into the default application - whose name you can control through the server.conf.yaml file. We believe there are many advantages for the adoption of applications and libraries. Some of these are outlined in this topic from the IIBv10 documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/integration-bus/10.0?topic=overview-benefits-using-applications-libraries
If you adopt Applications and libraries to group your deployed artifacts, you can successfully undeploy or change one application without influencing another. The product's Toolkit also provides a helpful tool for converting your projects (right-click your integration project and select "Convert to Application or Library" and then choose either "Analyse and Convert multiple projects" or "Convert single project").
