Thanks, Marc-Andre, the inconsistency is troubling. We are starting to use JavaFX 8 in our product which forces us to stay on GTK2.
We should move this discussion to the SWT list, but is there a way to force GTK2 in a product? i.e. is there a System property equivalent of this environment variable that I can put in my eclipse.ini file?
Thanks,
Doug.

Hi Doug, it depends which version of GTK 3 is installed. Versions >= 3.9 are not used and SWT falls back to GTK2. Ubuntu 14.04 has GTK 3.10.8 therefore it fallbacks to GTK2 (but you can still force it on with SWT_GTK3=1). Ubuntu 12.04 has GTK 3.4.2 and
13.10 has 3.8.6 so SWT uses GTK3 on those Ubuntu versions. A lot of people are still on 12.04 since it's a LTS release so it's important that SWT works well there.

Interesting. I tested out the JavaFX FXCanvas widget on Ubuntu and was surprised that Luna was running GTK2. Is this determined per distro? Or are we still GTK2 by default?

Hello,
I have noticed a hang when upgrading from 4.3.2 to 4.4. I'm not sure if this would be considered a blocker or not. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=436910

Marc-Andre
