"Platform filters" for fragments in Eclipse Product Export Wizard doesn't seem to work [message #518575]

Hi,

I have some plugins and fragments that need to be packaged for different target platforms.

Some fragments have Platform filters like:
(& (osgi.os=macosx) (osgi.arch=x86) (osgi.ws=cocoa))
or
(osgi.os=win32)

Then I run the "Eclipse Product export wizard" from my product file editor. I select several platforms on the second page of the wizard. The generation is successful except that the plugin fragments for all platforms appear in all distributions of the product.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Or is this a limitation in RCP?

Did you install the delta pack? AFAIK that's what it is supposed to do,
include all of the appropriate fragments that get filtered at launch
time. But I'm not 100% sure, my build creates one platform at a time.

Hi all,

I have this problem too with my RCP application. I develop on
linux.x86_64 and build for linux.x86_64, linux.x86 and win32.x86.

All platform specific fragments get included in all builds. I have to
manually delete them or build for one platform at a time.

My target platform includes the delta plack.

Hi all,

So it seems to be so: when you select multiple platforms all the fragments land in each product version. But when build them one at a time everything works as expected. In a scenario where this step is scripted, I also guess they are built one at a time.

Also Paul mentioned that he makes them one at a time. So that explains why it works for him.

I guess I will post this as a bug. It seems to me to be one.

Regards,
Gabriel
