Thanks Caolan for explaining that to me.
I need the platform descriptions for the Extension Manager. Currently
one can install an extension on any platform, no matter for what
platform the extension is intended. In the future the Extension
Manager should refuse to install an extension when it cannot work on
the user's system.
To achieve this, the extension contains a platform token and the
Extension Manager checks if this token represents the current platform.
Are you going to be able to run an extension on multiple platforms? Such
as one that has been built as a Universal Binary for Mac OS X Intel and
PPC? Or doesn't have platform specific code?
You will be able to add several platform token in the description.xml:
<platform value="macosx_x86,macosx_ppc />

Currently it is only planned to have the Extension Manager check the
platform during installation.
In a networked environment you could be using the same openoffice
preferences on multiple platform (more commonly just separate
architectures).
This problem has not been addressed yet. However, UNO services are
registered for a particular platform. For example, an extension
containing a service for Windows is installed (on Windows). Then the
user runs a Linux version and tries to access that service. The service
will not be available.
