Hi rhoerste, the plugin installer uses whatever Java JVM you have locally installed on your system. That means it leverages the JVM which is first accessible in your PATH. Can yuo please double check what JVM is available on your system via

which java
java -version

In case it is >v15 you could have the issue mentioned here: stackoverflow: Unable to create javax script engine for javascript in Javafx application

The installation worked for me on Ububtu 20.04. Default Java version here is v11. BW v6 itself comes with its bundled Java runtime. Perhaps you should leverage this for the installation process: source <bw-install-patch>/bw/6.7/scripts/bash.rc and start the maven-plugin installer again from the same terminal. This should use the BW6 JVM which is a Java8 (1.8) that includes the needed script runtime.

In case it will not work, the relevant changes are:

export JAVA_HOME=<bw-install-patch>/tibcocore64/1.8.0
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
which java
java -version

Now the installer should be able to run successfully!
