Liviu,

Your request doesn't make so much sense in my opinion.

You'll find that name appears in many places, e.g., in any native fragment:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/staging/2021-12/index/org.eclipse.equinox.executable_root.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.8.1400.v20211019-0751.html

In the POMs that build these things you'll find

                <environment>
                  <os>macosx</os>
                  <ws>cocoa</ws>
                  <arch>x86_64</arch>
                </environment>

That's because you'll find that here in org.eclipse.osgi.service.environment.Constants.OS_MACOSX in addition to org.eclipse.osgi.service.environment.Constants.WS_COCOA and org.eclipse.osgi.service.environment.Constants.ARCH_X86_64.

So whatever the fashionable name may be for these things, I personally don't think we should change that because this has been consistently this way for a very long time so changing it is more likely to be harmful than helpful.

I do rename the installer products:

https://download.eclipse.org/justj/?file=oomph/epp/2021-09/R

But then later I kind of regret it when new architectures are added; ones that aren't just numeric and don't fit well with the arbitrary naming format I choose.

Regards,
ED

... please note that the name -macosx- is no longer in use for about 2 years, and the current macOS is now at version 12.1; version 10 (X) is long gone. Also I don't know if -cocoa- is still accurate for the new macOS.
Can someone with a better knowledge of the project, register a ticket in the proper tracker to update the macOS archives names?
