Subject: [pde-dev] Target platform
manifest problem.
When creating a target platform from a directory, the target platform will
completely ignore any files that have a problem in the manifest. It would be
nice to log those and the reason why it happened.
One problem is that if you use Bundle-Symbolicname in the manifest instead of
Bundle-SymbolicName, then the target platform completely ignores that bundle.
The difference is the capitalization of the “N” in SymbolicName. I believe you
should be able to use Bundle-Symbolicname because the OSGi spec says the manifest
headers names should be case-insensitive.
Do you consider this a bug? I do.
BTW: you would not believe how long it took to track down this issue :(
