[equinox-dev] os.name for Windows 2003 Server

[Lukasz Bobowiec <Lukasz.Bobowiec@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I followed the link sent by Peter Kriens
about OS names:

http://www2.osgi.org/Specifications/Reference

However on Windows 2003 Server with
IBM JRE 1.5 using Peter's properties bundle I obtain the following values:

os.name=      
     "Windows Server 2003"      
   "windows server 2003"
os.arch=        
   "x86"            
             "x86"
os.version=        
"5.2 build 3790 Service Pack 1""5.2 build 3790 service pack
1"
java.vendor=        "IBM
Corporation"              "ibm
corporation"
java.class.version= "49.0"
                     
  "49.0"
java.version=       "1.5.0"
                     
 "1.5.0"
file.separator=     "\"
                     
     "\"
path.separator=     ";"
                     
     ";"
org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation="*"
             "*"
...
org.osgi.supports.framework.extension="true"
      "true"
microedition.configuration="null"
                 "null"
microedition.profiles="null"
                     
"null"
org.osgi.framework.executionenvironment="OSGi/Minimum-1.0,OSGi/Minimum-1.1,JRE-1.1,J2SE-1.2,J2SE-1.3,J2SE-1.4,J2SE-1.5""osgi/minimum-1.0,osgi/minimum-1.1,jre-1.
1,j2se-1.2,j2se-1.3,j2se-1.4,j2se-1.5"
org.osgi.supports.bootclasspath.extension="null"
  "null"
org.osgi.supports.framework.fragment="null"
       "null"
org.osgi.supports.framework.requirebundle="null"
  "null"
org.osgi.framework.version="1.3.0"
                "1.3.0"
org.osgi.framework.language="pl"
                  "pl"
org.osgi.framework.vendor="Eclipse"
               "eclipse"
org.osgi.framework.os.name="windows
server 2003"   "windows server 2003"
org.osgi.framework.os.version="5.2"
               "5.2"
org.osgi.framework.processor="x86"
                "x86"

OSGi r4 specification does not mention
about such value "Windows Server 2003".

For IBM JRE 1.4.2 os.name is "Windows
2003".

I have lots of bundle with native code
and inside the manifest file when I do not append for the header "Bundle-NativeCode"
the "Windows Server 2003" value my bundles are invisible (they
are not even in INSTALLED state).

After adding to "Windows
Server 2003" to Bundle-NativeCode
everything works fine.

I found the similar problem that System.getProperty("os.name"),
SunVM and J9 reports different names

Does OSGi spec. recommend "Windows
2003" or "Windows Server 2003" for Windows Server 2003?
