I don't know what the issue with GWT Plugin on eclipse but whenever I'm opening GWT designer on eclipse, I'm getting this issue

GWT Designer uses the SWT Browser widget to render the GWT UI. SWT Browser requires a compatible xulrunner version installed: it should be 1.9.1.x or 1.9.2.x version and meet the current environment architecture. See http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#whatisbrowser and related topics for more information.

If Zarinfams suggested fix of editing the eclipse.ini file and adding -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true doesn't work;

Try editing

workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.prefs

change

showIntro=false

to

showIntro=true

Eclipse will open showing the intro and the designer tab will work.

NB. This will only work one time since Eclipse will update the file, while ignoring any file permissions you set on the file itself.

You can change the file permissions on the directory at your own risk.
