Embedding JavaFX in SWT on Linux (Gtk3)

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Tom,

I ran ldd for libjfxwebkit.so, and I see that it doesn't link to GTK 
libraries. However, libjfxmedia.so does, so if you play any media files 
(either directly, or on a webpage open in webkit), then the GTK2 
libraries will be loaded.
