# Feature Request ## Motivation Behind Feature <!-- Why should this feature be implemented? What problem does it solve? --> Many plugins do work only in a specific platform and crash in other platforms during build. Furthermore many plugins are specifically designed to a specific platform only, but their creators did not take that into account. There's also a popular request for this in Stackoverflow. ## Feature Description <!-- Describe your feature request in detail Please provide any code examples or screenshots of what this feature would look like Are there any drawbacks? Will this break anything for existing users? --> It would be very advantageous to have in `package.json` some sort of way to inform that we just want a specific plugin installed only in a specific platform, and not in all platforms. ## Alternatives or Workarounds <!-- Describe alternatives or workarounds you are currently using Are there ways to do this with existing functionality? --> We can use plugman but it's not reliable nor there is a way to tell other people that we want a certain plugin installed only on a specific platform. I suppose we can also use a hook, but I was wondering before which event should we consider to process. We can also have git branches with different versions of `package.json` for different platforms. The best way would be undoubtedly to have that information directly stored in `package.json`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
