Have you tried running the installer and/or the application without
su-privileges?

We have not tested Oxygen or the installer on CentOS 7, but the problem
you are experiencing (empty windows) seems to be between Java and the
X11 graphical system.
Please check the version of Java being used, "java --version"

I found an article about a similar problem with Intellij (also a Java
app) on CentOS:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000436304-Intellij-appears-as-a-blank-white-window-when-opened-on-Centos
If you are working remotely (e.g. via XRDP), check if the framebuffer is
configured to use 24-bit of color.
Someone mentioned there that he resolved the problem in CentOS 7.6 by
editing /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and changing max_bpp=24.

If the problem persists, consider installing v21.1, OpenJDK
distribution, "*Linux 64-bit (Includes OpenJDK 12.0.1)*"?
