Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-02-02 12:09:22 UTC

Description of problem:
According to Michael Catanzaro, a developer of WebKitGtk, it is highly discouraged to ever use WebKit 1 (webkitgtk package in Fedora) any more.

When running with Gtk2 backend, SWT is using this WebKit 1 Gtk binding.

Fedora's eclipse package should drop any webkitgtk dependency pretty soon. I know that backwards compatibility is needed for some Eclipse plugins that probably may require Gtk2 in-process with Eclipse/SWT. Is it possible to put those outside the main eclipse-swt package? So "most" users won't see any Webkit 1 Gtk bindings in Eclipse (and thus probably no Gtk2 version of Eclipse). For those few who need that, they can install a separate (new) package named e.g. eclipse-swt-gtk2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-swt-1:4.5.1-1.fc23
eclipse-swt-1:4.5.1-7.fc23

How reproducible:
always, see spec file

Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov 2016-02-02 12:21:09 UTC

Putting it outside of main eclipse-swt would be giant hack and request for disaster considering how much people insist on certain look from GTK2. 
I would say this can be 3 step effort:
1. Drop webkitgtk1 requires for Fedora 24 - as all webkit calls are dynamic this should have the effect of just non-working internal browser widget for GTK 2 users, as it should open external browser in such cases it's fair compromise for people using GTK2. Mat, please take care of this for Fedora 24.
2. Drop webkitgtk3 requires for Fedora 24 after making SWT default to webkit2 - there is pretty much working widget based on webkit2 but missing some functionality (progress notifications and etc.). Should be doable but needs further testing. Mat, would you please try it and if there are some issues let me know so I hopefully we can achieve that for Fedora 24.
3. Stop compiling GTK 2 backend at all - due to swt build machinery being a giant hack this is something we can only try for Fedora 25 due to time concerns but I was looking for this coming for long time.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 15:52:28 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.
