\* No GTK3 support for linux

Advantages:
* Support for Windows 32/64bit
* Support for Mac OS X 64bit
* Provides API to access to DOM model

Disadvantages:
* Under Eclipse for Linux swt-javafx uses glass.so which is linked with GTK 2 only. To let it work eclipse should be started with SWT_GTK3=0 to trigger usage GTK 2.
* Is not included in Open JDK 7
* Future inclusion in Open JDK 8 is not clear
* Is not a public API
* OSGi class loading hook is required to get it works, which can have complications at install/update time and possible conflicts with OSGi hooks installed from other bundles

Performance:
* Slower under Linux and have repaint problems when scrolled up and down
