Description Leo Ufimtsev

GtkGLArea was introduced in Gtk 3.16:

GtkGLArea: GTK+ 3 Reference Manual 
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkGLArea.html

It would be nice for SWT to use the gtk api instead of the library in GLX.java

This would be a fairly large project.

Looks like this is needed for Windows-Gtk port:

488431 – Provide SWT/GTK3 port on Windows

Good incentive.
