Removal Of GTK_WIDGET_WINDOW In SWT 4.5 Causes A JOGL Runtime Error

I ran into a runtime error attempting to run with JOGL 2.2.4 in an Eclipse/RCP app built against the recent Eclipse Mars release along with its associated SWT 4.5 upgrade:

>>>> ExternalContributionFactory.create: failed, throwable = java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
        at com.jogamp.newt.swt.NewtCanvasSWT.<init>(NewtCanvasSWT.java:127)

        at com.jogamp.nativewindow.swt.SWTAccessor.<clinit>(SWTAccessor.java:203)

I submitted bug 1170 and offered a possible fix, which could of course be totally off the mark.  I'm sure Petros will have more to say about it.

I thought I should also mention the issue here in case anybody else encounters it and isn't keeping an eye on the bug database.

You should put yourself into the CC list, shouldn't you?

Good point.
