Native bundles cannot be installed on Windows 8
Hi,
We distribute an application that contains some native decoders. This
application is given to patients on removable devices. It is an issue on
Windows system because Felix framework can only install native libraries
on known systems (hard coded).
I think it would be better to consider that Windows is a win32 system
with some exceptions, like Windows CE or Windows RT (but still no JVM
available and runs on ARM processor).
I opened an issue that contains a patch
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3844 (see second comment).
In that way, it would possible to install a win32 lib on future Windows
systems without explicitly naming it (e.g. osname="windows 8";) in
pom.xml, inside Bundle-NativeCode tag. It will be enough to have
"osname=win32;".
Best,
Nicolas

We'd probably be better off just making the list of known OSes a
configuration property or something, so people could just fix it with a
configuration property.
