[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-1075) Should JBDS work around SWT/GTK button-click bug or move up to latest Eclipse 3.5.2 milestone?

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-1075?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12510375#action_12510375 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-1075:
-------------------------------------------

As for the bugs that are of note, a full list is here:  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;target_milestone=3.1.2;classification=WebTools

But a more condensed relevant to us specific list follows:
  - renaming wtp NON-J2EE projects updating the descriptor [bug 251813]
  - the introduction of a jdt light API to get rid of several deadlocks.
[281968, 287763, 288380, 288619, 288970, 295789
- consolidation of wtp constants into fewer places / plugins to limit
plugin activations [no id]
- weird caching issue for binary jee files inside jee projects causing
new jars not to be published / exported  [290978]
- various memory leaks

In short it seems like a good collection of fixes. The backport of the
java-lite API was probably the heftiest of the fixes but that was to fix
the deadlock issues and was deemed super important.

So that's what I've got mostly. There are various jbide issues that
essentially wrap these issues.

> With the latest GTK+ 2.17.x/2.18.x in Linux (32- or 64-bit), Eclipse buttons in dialogs and other places are not working for me if clicked with the mouse. Also cannot see anything in the tree when trying to install updates.
> Solution, as documented here [1], is to 
> > export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
> before running JBDS; we could do what Fedora did for Eclipse 3.5.1 in Fedora 12: instead of simply running ./eclipse, we run a bash script which does the above export before running ./eclipse.
