Although untested, GEF should work fine on other OSes where the Eclipse +platform works.
+ +API Contract Compatibility: GEF 3.2 is upwards contract-compatible +with GEF 3.0 except for those areas noted in +Breaking API Changes. Downward contract compatibility +is not supported. There is no guarantee that compliance with 3.2 APIs would +ensure compliance with 3.0 APIs. Refer to Evolving +Java-based APIs for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that +maintain contract compatibility.
+Binary (plug-in) Compatibility: GEF 3.2 is upwards binary-compatible +with GEF 3.0 except in those areas noted in +Breaking API Changes. Downward plug-in +compatibility is not supported. Plug-ins based on GEF 3.2 will not work with GEF +3.0. Refer to Evolving +Java-based APIs for a discussion of the kinds of API changes that +maintain binary compatibility. +
Non-compliant usage of API's: All non-API methods and classes, and +everything in a package with "internal" in its name, are +considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment +and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly depend +on anything other than what is specified in the API are inherently +unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility within a single +release or across releases. Refer to How +to Use the Eclipse API for information about how to write compliant +plug-ins.

+ (Bug 111102)BorderLayout has been changed to vertically stretch the central figure (it used to center it before). (Bug 113008)TextFlow#getFirstOffsetForLine(int) and TextFlow#getLastOffsetForLine(int) now expect the given int argument to be the exact baseline value. (Bug 113700)++Some fonts scale differently on the printer than they do on the screen. This +may result in printed text appearing wider than the same text on the screen. +Clients can use margins to ensure that extra space is available to the figure +when printing.
+Printing may not be implemented by SWT on some platforms.
+
Mirrored mode (Right to Left)
+++ +Printing figures that are on a mirrored (right-to-left) control may not work +with some printer drivers.
+Advanced graphics might not work in mirrored mode. Bug +99564
