a bit more details: the root swt bug resulted in all labels being 
identical: 
https://issues.jboss.org/secure/attachment/12395742/bad-labels-tree.png
the workaround we currently have in place is to turn ownerdraw off for 
trees. This works in Mars.0 and Mars.1 but isnt great, label decorations 
are black like the main label which makes items hard to read.
The only way I see to fix this is by using the fixed swt plug which isnt 
available for Mars0 afaik (fixed swt starts with 3.104.1).

I know that several swt issue were fixed I couldnt tell you by heart 
which ones. Maybe @Snjezana knows?
