Jmeter plugin execution throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I've looked for answers to this problem, but couldn't find any over the internet. Maybe someone here ran into this issue before.

I have a CentOS machine with Jmeter 3.1. On this machine everything works fine. I created a new VM, and copied the jmeter directory to the new machine with everything set up. Test execution works fine, but when I try to use any of the plugins (cmdrunner-2.0.jar or by JMeterPluginsCMD.sh) I get an Exception back, with not much information what's wrong:

[root@box bin]# java -jar "/opt/apache-jmeter-3.1/lib/cmdrunner-2.0.jar" -n --tool Reporter  --input-jtl "/tmp/data.csv" --plugin-type SynthesisReport --generate-csv "/tmp/report.csv"

That's all I get. The only differences between the two machines is:

Working platform:

kernel 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 java (build 1.8.0_131-b12)

Not working:

kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64, java (build 1.8.0_144-b01)

There are no environment variables missing.

Any suggestions are more than welcomed
