Switching from swt-gtk to swt4-gtk

[Laurent Bigonville]

Hi,

I was wondering, are there any plans to switch from swt-gtk to swt4-gtk?

swt-gtk has not been updated since 2013. swt4-gtk supports both gtk2 and 
gtk3.

Does anybody knows if the the two versions are compatible and if it's 
the case bugs should maybe be filled?

For the record, removing swt-gtk would remove the following packages:

bigon at coccia:~$ dak rm -nR swt-gtk
Will remove the following packages from unstable:
