Hi all,
Eclipse 4.4.M3 has been released last week. It contains a big (good)
change for Linux users: implementation of SWT against GTK3 instead
of GTK2. This is mostly perfect, but there are still a few glitches
(this required a lot of changes, so even the most careful developers
could miss some things).
It would be helpful if you could start using this 4.4.M3 as an IDE
for JBT/JBDS and report any bug you notice to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform . The
sooner they get fixed in Eclipse, the less bad surprise and pain
we'll have for JBoss Tools and JBoss Developer Studio.
FYI, this change was implemented and is maintained by the Eclipse
Fedora team at Red Hat, and the 4.40.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT will soon use
this new implementation of SWT.
Last point to convince you: Eclipse looks nicer with GTK3 than it
does with GTK2 ;)
