JavaFx gtk3 support

[Ilya Buziuk]

Hello.
I'm really interested in high level plans about gtk3 support. Assuming that
starting from Luna build eclipse uses gtk3 libs when available on
Linux/Unix (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420182 ) , which
makes javaFx incompatible, cause it contains hardcoded references to gtk2.
I do believe that in a long run compatibility with gtk3 is not only useful,
but vital for eclipse / SWT support. So, I have created an issue -
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-35264 . However, I got no feedback
yet. I'm also take an interest in javaFx WebView (WebKit). It has loads of
cool features indeed! Debugger API is a killer one. So, I guess it's also
compiled against gtk2, isn't it?
