Description Matthias Dahl 2014-08-27 15:05:56 UTC
With newer Glib and GTK+ versions, SWT <= 4.3 causes crashes, warnings and errors for programs. In my case it is the android-sdk-updater.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open android (from android-sdk-updater)
2. Create a new AVD

Actual Results:  
Once you leave the dialog where you created the AVD by creating/saving it, android will crash.

With those patches applied, android from android-sdk-updater works just fine now -- without any warnings, errors or crashes.

Since the bundled SWT version from the SDK is affected as well and the SDK works just fine with SWT 3.8.2, I suggest changing its dependency exclusively to SWT 3.8.2 with this fixes applied, so thers don't run into the same problems. I will open a new bug report shortly about this.

Affected version swt-4.3 is gone. Closing.
