Mickael Istria updated JBIDE-16290:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
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=425692 (Import Existing Maven Project)
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
* Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=425123
Some more minor ones:
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=417601
* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421834

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.
