Is os.version>=10.7 legal in osgi platform filter? (repost) [message #772278]

(Sorry for cross-posting but no replies on the Platform forum, so it's worth a shot here...)

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.

When you say "in practics it works" do you mean the launched Equinox
framework instance? AFAIK the PDE launch dialog uses a different
implementation to verify the filter. I might be buggy. Can you open a
bug against PDE and report the incorrectly detected filter?

Gunnar,

thanks for the reply. I'll clarify - the application is an RCP application and the fragment is for Mac only, versions >= 10.7 (i.e. minimum is Mac OS X Lion). The fragment certainly gets instantiated only under this condition, so the line "os.version>=10.7" certainly works. My concern is within Eclipse itself, when I am developing, my Launch configuration complains about it being invalid. So my questions are:

1. Is "os.version>=10.7" a valid statement? (Seems to be OK)
2. If it is valid, then maybe it's a bug in Eclipse in the Launch Configuration dialog, and I'll file a bug.

Regards,

Phil

Yes.

Likely. Please file a bug against PDE UI.

Thanks,
Gunnar
