Thanks Pascal. From the defects, it is not clear this is going to be 
addressed in any release, is that correct? Is this is a good time to start 
a discussion and maybe implement  applying specified filters on category 
IUs too?

Hi Nalini, 

No filtering is applied on categories.  This is a known issue:

I am trying to filter out certain requirements using filters from category 
IUs, but the UI(install and pde) seem to ignore this. For example, 
installing test should filter out foo.win32 on a linux platform, but I am 
not seeing that happen. 

 <unit id='test' version='1.0.0.T20100823_1234' singleton='false'> 
      <properties size='2'> 
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name' value='test'/> 
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category' 
value='true'/> 
      </properties> 
           <requires size='79'> 
        <required namespace='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu' name='foo.win32' 
range='0.0.0' optional='true'> 
          <filter> 
            (&amp;(osgi.arch=x86)(osgi.os=win32)(osgi.ws=win32)) 
          </filter> 
        </required> 
      </requires> 



I am probably missing something, are filters not supported for the 
category IUs? If this is a defect, I can open a bug report and probably 
attach a patch too. 

Thanks, 
Nalini.
