Eclipse crashes when opening html file with Vaadin Designer

I'm new to Vaadin and just tried to use the Vaadin Designer but my Eclipse Oxygen on Linux Mint instantly crashes when I create a new html form via "Vaadin 8 Design". It crashes at the moment when it tries to open the html file. The Eclipse .log doesn't report any appropriate issue.

Any ideas are appriciated.

There were some problems with old Eclipse version and GTK 3 but I am not sure they are still in the Oxygen or not. It's worth a try to run eclipse with GTK 2:

env SWT_GTK3=0 GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ./eclipse -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=true -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=true

Alternatively, you can put the bellow line into eclipse.ini before --launcher.appendVmargs

--launcher.GTK_version
2
