Unsatisfied custom code filter error when trying to export an OSGi fragment to Eclipse using custom vm arg

Question

It seems that there is only one such question here , but the solution proposed in this answer was not effective for me. I am using the Spring Tool Suite (essentially Kepler 4.3.2 SR2) as my IDE to develop an OSGi fragment that contains the latest version of some native C ++ code. Fragments exist to allow the use of different versions of software in different environments with which this native code is intended for integration.

However, I cannot export this fragment, apparently because of the custom vm arg, which we use to represent this version number.

the manifest looks something like this:

Manifest-Version: 1.0 Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2 Bundle-Name: Windows 64-bit support for Third-Party XYZ 4.12.7 Bundle-SymbolicName: com.ourcompany.oursoftwarepackage.xyz.win64xyz4127 Bundle-Version: 8.6.2.qualifier Bundle-Vendor: OurCompany Fragment-Host: com.ourcompany.oursoftwarepackage.xyz Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6 Eclipse-PlatformFilter: (& (osgi.os=win32) (osgi.arch=x86_64)) Bundle-NativeCode: xyzintegration.dll; selection-filter = "(oursoftwarepackage.xyzVersion=4.12.7)" Bundle-ClassPath: . 

The error says:

Inclusion processing from the org.eclipse.pde.container.feature function: convolution com.ourcompany.oursoftwarepackage.xyz.win64xyz4127_8.6.2.qualifier could not be resolved: Poor native code filter: xyzintegration.dll; Filter selection = "(oursoftwarepackage.xyzVersion = 4.12.7)".

If I delete the selection filter clause, it appears for export, but the actual artifact is not produced.

The suggestion that I extrapolated from the link above was to enable vmarg

 -Doursoftwarepackage.xyzVersion=4.12.7 

in the target plug-in development environment. This, however, does not seem to fit the OSGi framework. Now I don’t understand how to get the fragment to allow export.

I assume that you are talking about setting up the target environment in the target definition editor. At least this is the only place I know for such a setup. But this is the definition of the goal against which you are developing. It does not indicate runtime.

You need to set the VM parameter in the "Run" configuration.

Run → Run Configurations ... → Select the application to run → Go to the “Arguments” tab → paste the value into the “VM Settings” section
