Re: [pde-build-dev] Default for target windowing system

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,
Buckminster headless is an equinox app. It's invoked using Java so the 
binary launcher is never used. We don't include a binary launcher in our 
product since it's essential that it platform agnostic. So that leaves 
"Guessed by OSGi". Is there anyway to influence that guess (in a generic 
sense, i.e. provide new defaults based on OS/Arch)?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
