--------------------------------------
Can at least make the error message more descriptive? Right now it appears to the user
that they must install a package that they cannot install.
On RHEL7, Browsersim cannot use the SWT Browser (GTK) as the browser
engine

Steps to reproduce:
* Configure Browsersim to use either Oracle 1.7 or 1.8 JDK on RHEL7
* Open Browsersim
* Right-click to open the Browsersim context menu
