I can confirm this!
Under debian and derivation, the versions of SH3D don't work correctly mostly because of installed java, specific to debian policy.
I modify the official installer to load the official java 9 and 10.
At first impression it work.
BUT at second it don't import furniture and textures.
Only the plugins but I'm not sure if are all imported (I didn't verify it).
On terminal I see some error about j3d but I stop there.
So, the best option is to run the official SH3D from the site which are completely functional with jre8.
