API First support z/OS Connect EE

To expose z/OS assets as API's our team uses z/OS Connect as part of a chain that's based on an API Design First approach. We need the possibility to generate all the needed z/OS Connect assets and Cobol copybooks based on that API First. We even want to eliminate the need to define projects (api's and services) into the IDE. The wanted feature should be able to generate aar and sar files and cobol copybooks directly based on the API First.
