Try just entering "Hello". BeanShell will evaluate it and return the string
literal.
If you want a macro to print arbitrary text in the Console window, this will
illustrate what you should do:
// Write_to_Console.bsh
manager = view.getDockableWindowManager();
manager.addDockableWindow("console");
console = manager.getDockableWindow("console");
if(console == null)
Macros.error(view, "You must install the Console plugin to run this
macro.");
else
{
console.printPlain("This is plain text in black.");
console.printInfo("This is an attractive green.");
console.printWarning("This is hard-to-read orange text.");
console.printError("And this is bright red for those messages "
+ "that just won't wait.");
}
// end Write_to_Console.bsh
Here is an excerpt from a old thread which may be helpful.

BeanShell does have built-in commands which are implemented in BeanShell
script.
You can find 'pwd', for example, in ./bsh/commands of your jEdit
installation. The problem is that jEdit does not grab the BeanShell
interpreter's output, only a script's return value. In BeanShell, 'pwd()'
calls BeanShell's built-in 'print()', which returns void. So when you call
'pwd()', BeanShell doesn't complain, but you don't see anything.
To get what you're looking for, you can adapt the contents of the built-in
scripts to return a String. For example, typing 'bsh.cwd' gets you the
output of BeanShell 'pwd()'.
