I did find that post but the solution indicated it was a fix when using JDK 6. I didn't explore that further since I'm using JDK 7. Anyhow I just replaced the report XML file with the version in commit 569d1211 and it yielded the same stack trace as before.

Any other ideas?

Javascript support in the JDK is flaky at best - and certainly when using openJDK I have no clue if it will work properly.
That being said, the script code can always be replaced by a Java service task that does the same thing (only you need to put the jar on the classpath)
