Description Anna Dushistova CLA 2010-06-01 11:18:43 EDT 
Our master zip contains a Windows only feature. It causes installation failure during tests. The console log is here:
https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-tm-3.2-nightly/100/console

See bug 315059 comment 2 for an analysis of the problem and proposed fixes - although we would be happy with any sort of workaround too.

At the moment, this issue is blocking us from releasing TM 3.2 (Helios) with Athena.
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2010-06-01 12:45:42 EDT 
PS The issue is very simple to reproduce / test: Take any build that works fine, and from the features included in your master take any one and set the 

   os="win32"

property in the <feature> element and any of the <plugin> elements. Athena build will break since it cannot install this feature for testing.
Comment 3 Nick Boldt CLA 2010-09-25 01:48:49 EDT 
Athena will never support this usecase, unless someone contributes a solution that will do it.

Workaround: use Tycho instead.

This shows how to build multiplatform plugins (fragments):
