Okey, but how about have at startup of the plugin check the SWT version 
and if it is the broken one disable custom painting and
use the default if it is not the broken version ?

Then you can build and install against Mars.0 but still work better when 
users install on Mars.1+

Seems like the simplest/best option ?

What I mean - this single issue (like Alexey and others pointed out too) 
seems too minor to incur on everyone
running Mars.0 to get the remediation dialog.

Thus I was looking for more severe issues that would make it worthwhile 
to force Mars.1.
