for simple hobbyist blinky projects, probably many approaches are equally fine. my approach was to provide wizards that generate ready to run projects.
for serious embedded developers things get more complicated.
the trick is not necessarily the selection of the RTOS, or generally the content of the libraries used, but a convenient packing mechanism to reflect dependencies, paired with a managed build system to use this metadata.
there may be many candidates solutions, but I could not find one to meet all my requirements.
my xPacks/XCDL solution (http://xcdl.github.io) is inspired by eCos CDL, but I also plan to keep a certain degree of compatibility with CMSIS Packs and mbed yotta.
for those interested, I suggest to read the "Why XCDL?" page (http://xcdl.github.io/guide/rationals/) and possibly the Concepts page, and let me know what they think. (the xPacks/XCDL site is far from final, there is much work planned there).

Liviu
