[Since OOo 3.0] It is possible to determine a target platform for an extension by providing a platform tag in the platform tag in the description.xml.
Please notice that this platform tag is ONLY used during installation in order to see if the user's platform is usable. It is NOT used for identifying an extension. Please read the identifier documentation for details.
If the platform is not present then it is assumed that all platforms are suitable. This corresponds to explicitly specifying all platforms:
<platform value="all" />The attribute value may contain one to many platform tokens separated by commas:
<platform value="windows_x86,linux_x86,solaris_sparc" />An extension can only be installed if one of the provided platform tokens matches the user's platform. The special 'all' platform represents all platforms. That is, the extension can be installed everywhere. Whereas
<platform value=" " />would prevent installation on all platforms.
The tokens need to be defined by OOo. Every token can represent a particular platform constellation. The currently defined tokens are listed in the paragraph Platform Tokens
Do not confuse these tokens with those used to specify a native library in the manifest.xml. We will unify the use of the tokens in one of the future releases.
