I'd like to disclaim that since I'm not an OpenJDK developer, the

behalf of the end-strategy of OpenJDK and I do not represent them or
their solution to this problem.
That said, for reasons mentioned above as well as evidence in Gnome's
codebase, Debian's codebase and Java's codebase, I observe a valid
use-case for asking if the desktop environment is Gtk-based. To deny
that suggests that solutions which check are invalid, or contain no
value and I believe this perspective to be short-sighted as
admittingly my sight is as well.

Not a Gnome/GTK/OpenJDK developer but it sounds like you're asking for
the wrong thing. What you need is standard way of getting a list of UI
toolkits(GTK/QT/whatever) installed. It doesn't matter what the desktop
is, only that GTK is installed.
Good luck with that, by the by. Even if you could somehow get
Gnome/KDE/whomever to agree to implement such a thing(ha!), distros will
find a way to break it somehow.
