The WPM can be opened through the Web Packages node on the Solution Explorer, if installed then the packages will be installed in that same folder in the selected solution. So those packages are not stored under the resources anymore but are more tied to the solution. And can be pushed to the git or svn repository together with the other things of the solution.

Note

Active solution and its modules should not have same web package multiple times, should have it only once in either main solution or module. Best practice would be to include it in some module and reference the module from all solutions that use the library.

The above Servoy packages are all hosted on github, as an example see: https://github.com/Servoy/bootstrapcomponents. Those can also be checked out and then used as a Web Package Project (where the solution will have a link to that project instead of a zip file in the Web Packages folder)

A web package can either be used as an archive (zip) or as a referenced project. Referenced project is now preffered way to include a web package reference. In Servoy 8.2 , you can also export the used packages in solution export. This is used for developer export/import only, so you do not need to reinstall packages after each import.
