I have a plug-in fragment that should only run on Mac OS X Lion version 10.7 or greater.

I have set the platform filter in the manifest as follows:

Eclipse-PlatformFilter: (&(osgi.ws=cocoa)(os.version>=10.7))

This certainly seems to work when launching on different platforms and OS versions. However, in the Launch configuration setup dialog when I click "Validate Plug-ins" on the "Plug-ins" tab there is a reported error:

The following problems were detected:
Platform filter did not match: (&(osgi.ws=cocoa)(os.version>=10.7))

I am running it on a Mac with the correct version. The offending part seems to be "os.version>=10.7". And yet in practice this works.

Is this the correct way to specify a minimum OS version for a filter?

Thanks in advance.
