Embedding JavaFX in SWT on Linux (Gtk3)

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

Starting with Eclipse Luna (released in end of June) the default mode of
SWT on Linux is to make use of Gtk3.

As far as I understand the situation Glass on Linux is linked against
Gtk2 so JavaFX components that need glass (=fairly everything beside
javafx-properties) will fail to load - in fact i got reports that the
JVM crashes.

IIRC i read that monocole has a port that directly uses X11 would it be
a work-around to run with this port when running in swt-embedding?

Am I right that the webkit binaries are also linked against gtk2 or do I
remember this wrong?

Tom
