Description Leo Ufimtsev CLA 2017-04-26 10:47:07 EDT 
We should have a mechanism that turns on Device.DEBUG when SWT_DEBUG=1 is set, to help debug & develop swt code base.

Device.DEBUG is used to print warnings in some places in SWT. Currently it can be set in a snippet:

... main {
Device.DEBUG = true;
..
Display display = ...
..
}

Or from platform.ui:
https://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#debugmode

And further, in general, if we want to print a warning, we should consider wrapping it into an if (Device.DEBUG) {..} block.
