Good to know about the time frame. Yes, we are looking at backporting
GTK 3 support to JDK 8.

Hi,
Yes. FXCanvas from JavaFX8 won't work anymore once SWT-Gtk2 is gone.
The discussion on this currently happens at [platform-dev] mailing list
- see https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-dev/ - There's no
timeframe mentionned yet by the SWT-Team but sooner or later that will
happen.

Hello Tom,
does that mean that FXCanvas won't work with upcoming Eclipse versions
and JavaFX8?
Do you know in which timeframe/release that my occur? Is that issue
discussed in the eclipse bugtracker somewhere? I couldn't find it by
searching for "gtk4".
Kind regards,
Thorsten

*Betreff:* Chance of Backporting Gtk3 Support to JavaFX 8
Hi,
Eclipse SWT developers are about to remove Gtk2-SWT port once they start
developing towards support for Gtk4.
This means there's no SWT-FX-Integration layer anymore for JavaFX8
because it is linked to Gtk2.
I know JavaFX-8 is not the new and shining thing because everyone wants
to use modules and Java 11 but there are many applications who can not
easily to Java 9+.
Is there any chance the Gtk3 changes from JavaFX-9 get backported to
JavaFX-8?
Tom
