Fixing SWT issues in Luna ------------------------- Key: JBIDE-16290 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16290 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: upstream Reporter: Mickael Istria Assignee: Snjezana Peco Fix For: 4.2.x Attachments: Java - Eclipse _001.png, luna-crashing-on-outcomplete.ogv This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS: * JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425692 (Import Existing Maven Project) * -https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581- * -Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.- * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127 * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425123 Some more minor ones: * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417601 * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421834 More submitted: * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431421 - text overspills area and is left as residual (JBIDE-16862) * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431423 - context menu opens away from mouse pointer (JBIDE-16879) * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431425 - too short combo box (JBIDE-16877) * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=431426 - shade of blue link text (JBIDE-16861) We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for Luna/GA. On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be maintained in future.
