Hi,
Are there any known limitations on the gtk3 backends (html5, wayland, ...) that
could be used?
In short - no, but do tell if you find some :-)
The problem before was that you can't mix GTK2 & 3 in the same application, so SWT
for example that is using GTK3 would crash and burn. With the addition of dynamic loading
of GTK we can at least avoid that issue - at least as long as you tell the app which
version to use. I have a task to investigate detecting if a version is already in use
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8156491>, but that has some portability
issues and might not make the final product. I am not aware of any reason why there would
be an issue - unless there is something with the GTK event loop.
Let me know if you give it a try.
Dave
regards,
Erik

I added a new feature Friday and would like some help testing it.
This new feature (8087516: Conditional support for GTK 3 on Linux) allows
us to use either GTK v2 or 3 with JavaFX.
The default has not changed - we will use gtk 2 by preference.
The help I need is for anyone doing testing on Linux with the current tree
- like todays sanity testing. Adding
-Djdk.gtk.verbose=true
should output the version detected and used. I would appreciate a paste of
that along with the OS version.
-Djdk.gtk.version=3
toggles the preferred version to GTK 3. Testing using that toggled would
also be appreciated, along with a note to me with the OS version.
thanks!
