Should JBDS work around SWT/GTK button-click bug or move up to latest Eclipse 3.5.2 milestone?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBDS-1075
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-1075
             Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen


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.

[1]http://wiki.eclipse.org/IRC_FAQ#Eclipse_buttons_in_dialogs_and_other_places_are_not_working_for_me_if_I_click_them_with_the_mouse._I_also_cannot_see_anything_in_the_tree_when_I_try_to_install_updates._What.27s_going_on.3F

Should we do this to avoid a flurry of support problems? 

Or start building JBDS with the latest Eclipse 3.5.2 milestone?
