[platform-swt-dev] Suggestion for SWT FAQ: GTK version being used

[Marc-André Laperle <marc-andre.laperle@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to suggest a new entry to the SWT FAQ about how to find which version of GTK is being used by Eclipse. This will be useful to give quick instructions to people reporting bugs on how to determine if they are running GTK 2 or GTK 3 and which exact version.

So I suggest adding something like this:

Which GTK version is being used by SWT?

It can be useful for bug reports to find out exactly which version of the GTK library is being used by SWT. SWT sets the org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version system property to the version being used. To display this value in Eclipse, go to Help, About Eclipse, Installation Details, Configuration. In the dialog, there will be a line org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.version=2.24.27 where 2.24.27 is the GTK version, for example.

Regards,
Marc-Andre
