Hi Josh,
Just one quick observation:
Release notes say:
BlazeDS now requires Java 11 or newer
For install prerequisites, README still says:
==================================================================================
SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
(absolute paths)
==================================================================================
Java SDK 1.8 or greater (*1) JAVA_HOME
Maven 2.2.0 or greater (*1) MAVEN_HOME
