Description Leo Ufimtsev CLA 2017-07-03 10:41:27 EDT 
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
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=488431

Good incentive.
