is it POSSIBLE to downgrade 17.04 to Gtk-2?

I have a critical eclipse-based app that is not playing well with Gtk-3; product support says they've received many issues that are solved by downgrading.

Is it possible to downgrade Zesty to Gtk-2? Is it possible to put their app in a wrapper that would force Gtk-2? Or am I forced to reinstall 16.10?

If this is an app that uses swing you might well find that setting the environment variable SWT_GTK3=0 will resolve your issues. If that works at the command line and you have an ini file along the lines of eclipse.ini then include the two lines below

--launcher.GTK_version 2
