Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16290:
----------------------------------------

[~snjeza] Your patch for jbosstools-central works like a charm! It was used in order to build https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-central_master/430 which is blue, +1 for merging it.
If you have any hint about what could cause this issue on the SWT side, make sure you add a comment to an existing Bugzilla or create a new one (and add me ass CC please).

> This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS:
> * JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
> * Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
> We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for Luna/GA.
> On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be maintained in future.
