Done.

I'll take a closer look tomorrow or Monday (no more time today). At 
first glance it seems like something reasonable to take forward.

I see. I did take a quick look at this and the test changes seem fine as 
part of this. I see you created the new test with 'hg cp' (or similar) 
which records it as a copy of the SWTCursorsTest.java file, which given 
the number of changes is not needed (and not really useful), but that's 
easy to fix.

There are several white space changes in FXCanvas.java that should be 
reverted. Our policy is that we do not make unrelated changes, including 
white space changes, in portions of a file that aren't otherwise 
modified by a patch.

We don't actually bundle swt itself, although we do download an old copy 
to link against, and to run tests against. In any case, given that our 
minimum Linux platform for JDK 9 is Ubuntu 16.04, it might not have GTK2 
installed by default. Please revert this change to build.gradle. If test 
issues arise on Linux we will deal with it at that time (possibly by 
moving to a newer version of swt to run tests).

Thanks.
