I have a plugin that requires a JNI library. Currently I have four
different fragemnts for four libraries on four different platforms. In
addition, I have a 3 other plugins (pure Java) that depend on the fragment,
and four features -- one for each platform containing the three pure
plugins and that platform-appropriate fragment.
The question is, what are the choices for having a single feature instead of
four? I imagine I could make one fragment supporting all four platforms,
though this seems a little wasteful.
Is there anyway to have a feature say "one of these four fragments depending
on the installing platform"?
Thanks

There is a thread called "Plugin packaging with platform dependent file"
posted earlier today that talks about this. For convenience I will
repost my reply though:
This is totally possible, open up your feature.xml in the manifest
editor and go to the content tab. There should be a list of the plugins
and fragments that you want to include in the feature. Put all of the
plugins/fragments from all platforms into here.
Let's say you have a plugin named foo. You then have two fragments
foo.linux and foo.windows. Right click on foo.linux and go to
properties. In the properties in the bottom select the correct
attributes such as x86, linux, gtk, etc.
Do the same for windows but select values such as x86, win32, win32, etc.

Many thanks. I figured it had to be.

That worked well. Now, I've got to something similar, based on Eclipse
versions. But I don't see a way to make the fragment requirement based on
Eclipse version.
Thanks.

Well, I don't have the specifics handy, but in Eclipse 3.0, APIs are being
broken. One solution to working with both 2.x and 3.0 is to use fragments
that match Eclipse versions. At the moment, I think I'm going to use
another solution, but it seems like a natural thing to want to do for me.
