[jbosstools-dev] SWT (4.2) incompatible with older GTK

Hi all,

Reference ticket: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12277
We are hitting this issue for CI jobs: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376560 SWT is incompatible 
with some older gtk versions, such as the one that are available on 
Jenkins slaves that use RHEL 4. It seems like *Eclipse 4.2 (and 
everything based on it) don't work on RHEL 4* because of its old gtk 
version.
How should we react? Testing only on RHEL 5+ and dropping support for 
RHEL 4 seems to be the easiest way to go.

Cheers,
