SmartTools generates different types of components: simple and document components
SmartTools generates the structure of the component so that it can be started on the platform
If you change the platform, you have just to change the generator, not the business code.
You develop only the business, the most interresting part. In OSGi, you have to code again and again how you publish and discover services. In SmartTools, your business code is encapsulated in a container that is known by the platform. This container can be connected to another component automatically with very few line of code, or none if you only use the World file. The connection is same for local component or remote component.
