Hi Phil,

Thank for review. You will find my reply below in the text.

The updated webrev is 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ssadetsky/8145547/webrev.01/
It also contains:
- new properties jdk.gtk.version and jdk.gtk.verbose
- appearance tuning for Ubuntu 15 (GTK 3.14). It may require more but we 
can do this later as a separate bug.
The main implementation was done for Ubuntu 14.05 LTS (GTK 3.10) and 
then tuned for OEL 7 (GTK 3.8). Each minor GTK version may have some 
appearance changes.

I tested it by painting to a BufferedImage. Seems it is enough.

Yes I have. It is identical to the existing GTK2 based appearance.

I will do this before the push. I think it will be OK because I did not 
use any new C constructs and the new libraries are linked dynamically.

Yes I ran javax/swing tests but many of them fails with GTK2 as well. 
With GTK3 the result was the same except for some unstable tests. Unity 
desktop has new window decorations like borderless windows which are 
resized by dragging the outer window shadow, invisible overlay 
scrollbars, etc. Many tests written for old window decorations fails.

It is an appearance tuning for GTK3. I didn't change it for GTK2, why do 
you think so?
This was used before my fix as well, for example

                     if (containerParent instanceof JComboBox) {
                         x += (focusSize + 2);
                         y += (focusSize + 1);
                         w -= (2 * focusSize + 1);
                         h -= (2 * focusSize + 2);
                     } else {
                         x += focusSize;
                         y += focusSize;
                         w -= 2 * focusSize;
                         h -= 2 * focusSize;
                     }

The only place where I changed the existing GTK2 appearance is:

1121         CLASS_SPECIFIC_MAP.put("Slider.thumbWidth", "slider-length");

  in GTKStyle.java, because this property was omitted by mistake.

The declaration is in GtkApi struct of gtk_interface.h. It returns 
char*. NULL means that the version is compatible.

The JNI exported method returns boolean while the GTK method returns 
char*. free() is deleted intentionally according to the GTK docs it 
belongs to the library and should not be freed by user code.

:) This is glib's definition I just copied.
