Konstantin Marmalyukov commented on JBIDE-18521:
------------------------------------------------

Len, everything works as it must be. Error message asks you to install webkitgtk package(for GTK2, webkitgtk3 which you have is for GTK3) which does not exists for RHEL7. This info is described in FAQ. Thus we make GTK3 default option for RHEL7.
