FYI - To have this patch integrated into RC4 you have to have the +1 vote of two component leads in the bug report. That usually does require that
the patch is reviewed and tested by other people.

So far this seem not have happened, at least
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/48343/ did not receive any plus votes.

Which is why we are posting here ;)

Mind you afaics this affect any use of styled label providers on linux systems using GTK >=3.14.

Do you really need to run with GTK3 or would GTK2 be acceptable?


Thanks for the pointer but yes, that's what we'd most likely tell users
if there's no solution for Mars Final.
We're not a product, we're just a few plugins for the IDE, so there's no
product (at least for JBoss Tools) that we are in control of.


also GTK2 has issues using browsers when running on system where webkit is
built against GTK3.

It is just rather frustrating having the exact same code work fine on OS
X, Windows, GTK2 but then fail to be unusable on GTK3.

We are looking at trying to do a workaround for this bug in our code but
its not going to be pretty ;/

You can use this in your product's launch arguments:
--launcher.GTK_version 2

http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fruntime-options.html
This is what we do in Trace Compass. I think we're almost at a point
where we could switch to GTK3 though!

Subject: [platform-swt-dev] Any chances we can get #466499 in for Mars?

Hi

in JBoss Tools we're unfortunately hit by a serious bug in jface trees
for SWT/GTK3 (all elements get the same label):
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19853

This bug unfortunately makes our tooling unusable with Eclipse/Mars for
Linux/GTK3.
Snjezana Peco made a patch in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466499 but I was told that
this wont make it to Eclipse/Mars.
I already talked to Alexander Kurtakov which explained to me that the patch is late and would need 2 committers and 2 platform leads to vote
for it.
I was hoping that we could get this approved since we would have no
other choice but to tell our users to painfully wait for another 6 long
months before Mars SR1.

Thanks
André
