Len DiMaggio commented on JBIDE-18521:
--------------------------------------

Seeing this behavior with the GA JBDS 8 bits on RHEL7

Java 8, GTK3 (default) - OK
Java 8, GTK2 - OK
Java 7, GTK3 (default) - OK
Java 7, GTK2 - BrowserSim has failed to start with the following error: To use BrowserSim please install webkitgtk 1.2.0 or highers or run BrowserSim with Oracle 7u7 and higher

But - this is installed:

rpm -qa | grep webkit
webkitgtk3-2.0.4-6.el7_0.1.x86_64
