      Forcing usage of GTK2 before launching JBoss Developer Studio prevents the designer from crashing. Installing the gtk2 murrine engine also helps

      export SWT_GTK3=0

      A screenshot is also attached.
      This issue is more severe in Fedora 27 and beyond as that release will not ship/backport GTK2 libraries anymore due to unpatched security issues. Using GTK2 is the current workaround
