Problem Description: Eclipse fails to export plug-in project as deployable plug-in if the project has a platform filter. You may complete the following steps in order to reproduce this scenario: 1. Extract the attached ZIP archive "sample_plugin.zip" into a local directory. This particular ZIP archive contains sample plug-in project "a1" that you may use to reproduce this defect. 2. Launch Eclipse 3. Import the extracted sample plug-in project "a1" in step 1 into the workspace. You may select "Import -> Existing Project into Workspace" from the main menu in order to get this done. 4. Open the plug-in manifest of "a1". Ensure that this particular plug-in project has the following platform filter "(osgi.os=linux)". 5. Export plug-in project "a1" as a deployable plug-in. You may select "a1" in the Package Explorer view and choose "File -> Export -> Deployable plug-ins and fragments" form the main menu to get this done. Expected Behavior: The deployable plug-in of "a1" should be created regardless its platform filter. Note that it is perfectly legitimate for one to develop plug-ins on one platform (say Windows) for another platform (say Linux). Actual Behavior: The deployable plug-in of "a1" is not created. Neither error messages nor warnings are displayed informing the user that something might have gone wrong during the creation of the deployable plug-in of "a1".
Created attachment 35241 [details] A sample plug-in project that you may use to reproduce this defect
Can somebody please give me an update on this defect (i.e. planning to fix it or not? Note that it has been almost two months since the day that the defect was reported. It looks like no one has even looked at it.
Is there no way to choose what platform you are exporting for when exporting plugins? Something like the export for multiple platforms thats there when exporting a product.
