The current macOS archive names look like: - eclipse-embedcpp-2020-12-M1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg Given that Apple no longer uses 'Mac OS X' but 'macOS', and the future version will be arabic 11, not latin X or XI, I suggest we update the archive names to something like: - eclipse-embedcpp-2020-12-M1-macos-cocoa-x86_64.dmg The 'cocoa' name as the graphical interface is (still) ok, we'll re-evaluate after the new machines using Apple Silicon will be out.
I took a look at the EPP sources and tried to identify where the name of the archive comes from. It is defined as: <product> <id>${project.artifactId}</id> <rootFolder>eclipse</rootFolder> <rootFolders> <macosx>Eclipse.app</macosx> </rootFolders> <archiveFileName>${build}_eclipse-${eclipse.epp.id}-${eclipse.simultaneous.release.id}</archiveFileName> </product> So the 'macos-cocoa-x86_64' part comes as '${eclipse.simultaneous.release.id}'. Unfortunately my knowledge of SimRel is not enough to suggest a solution. :-( If this requires another issue in SimRel, please fell free to add it.
It would be possible to rename the .dmg/.tar.gz at the last step (sort of how we change . to - in the names). However that would make EPP inconsistent with SDK and that makes me a little uncomfortable. > So the 'macos-cocoa-x86_64' part comes as > '${eclipse.simultaneous.release.id}'. The .macosx. in the name does not come from eclipse.simultaneous.release.id. that id is "2012-12-M2". The archiveFileName is appended with the target triplet by tycho. The target triplet comes from the <environments> section in the pom.xml. However you can only define an environment triplet that has a matching org.eclipse.equinox.launcher plug-in. So you can't change the macosx one to macos because there is no org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macos.x86_64 bundle, the bundle is org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64. So I don't know how or when this name should change, but I don't think I am going to lead it.
If Platform change the names of the packages (and I suppose the keys for OS?) then EPP will follow suit. So this bug belongs with Platform for their consideration.
