Given that Rethink Robotics does not officially support Baxter for even Kinetic, I do not think that they are supporting Melodic either. You could try to compile the Baxter Simulator from source (found here).

Not your original question, but Melodic targets Ubuntu 18.04, and you might run into compatibility issues using 17.10.
