Summary: Incorrect warning in Plug-in validation in Launch Configuration Dialog

Description CLA 2011-12-30 05:33:02 EST 
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 for the fragment as follows:

Eclipse-PlatformFilter: (&(osgi.ws=cocoa)(os.version>=10.7))

This is a valid filter and works as expected.

However, the Launch (Debug) Configuration dialog within Eclipse reports an error when I click "Validate Plug-ins" on the "Plug-ins" tab of the dialog:

"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". I think this is an incorrect error message.


Simple steps to reproduce:

1. Add the argument (os.version>=10.7)) to the Platform filter of any Plug-in or Fragment manifest in the Eclipse IDE.
2. Create a Run/Debug Configuration in Eclipse that includes that plug-in on the "Plug-ins" tab of the Configuration dialog.
3. Press "the Validate Plug-ins" button on the "Plug-ins" tab of the dialog.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
