The 'normalizeOSVersion(...)' is only used to normalize the version of

underlying OS, which you get back reading the value of jvm property '
os.version'. But the standardized org.osgi.framework.Version can only
parse
version like major.minor.micro.qualifier, where all but qualifier are
int,
and qualifier is text. In other words, I can't call parseVersion(),
cause it
won't compute the given example 2.4.2-kwt.
So what should I do :
Just assume <w>.<x>.<y><z> pattern and stop parsing as soon as it fails
and return what you have. This should be fine for now.
- What should I return if I can't parse Version ? null, emptyVersion
and /
or Exception ?
We can try emptyVersion for now.
- To pase the version, I need of course to know the separator between
parts
of version. The "." used in Version.parseVersion() is declared as
"constant"
but is not visible ? Should I change it, add a new value to
FelixConstants,
only use a local definition for separator ? (it's a matter of maintenance
and evolution)
Declare it locally for now.
2/ modify org.osgi.framework.Version in order to parse this kind of
Version.
I can easily change the parser, but now I can't read the parsed
version as
String without qualifier. So I think that I would be doomed to modify the
API of Version, and that's surely unwanted.
I wouldn't recommend it.
