Description Igor Fedorenko CLA 2011-08-09 09:43:15 EDT 
When building native fragments, it is often possible to derive target environment os/ws/arch properties from Eclipse-PlatformFilter value. For example,

Eclipse-PlatformFilter: (& (osgi.ws=gtk) (osgi.os=linux) (osgi.arch=x86))

Do note, that platform filter is platform filter uses LDAP search filters syntax and in some cases in may not be possible to unambiguously derive os/ws/arch properties, so the implementation should handle this case gracefully.
