Launch Product with GTK2 form Eclipse started with GTK3 [message #1809835]

My product runs under Linux and needs GTK2.

So when I put:

openFile
--launcher.GTK_version
2

in my eclipse.ini, then I can launch my product directly from eclipse workspace, but when I put:

openFile
--launcher.GTK_version
3

in my eclipse.ini, then I get errors about problems with gtk3.

So my question is:

Is it possible to start Eclipse in gtk3 mode, and the somehow configure the launcher to use gtk2 for my product. I would like to run Eclipse with gtk3, because under gtk2 i get ugly display errors when editing or scrolling. And I need my product to use gtk2, because I use the Mozilla SWT component.

No, newer versions of Eclipse dropped GTK 2 support.
