[jbosstools-dev] Linux users, please start using Eclipse 4.4.M3

[Mickael Istria]

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 ;)
