How to restrict plugin OS? [message #265523]

I want to restrict my plugin to be run only on Windows OS'es.
Is there any way to do it automatically via the plugin.xml descriptor or
something, or do I just check the OS in my plugin constructor and show an
error message on non-supported platforms?

TIA,
Sunil

Create a feature, put your plugin into the feature. On the "content"
page select "properties" from the context menu for your plugin. There
you can give restrictions for OS, window system and other things.

Ciao, Michael.
