[Maven-plugins-developer] Beanshell plugin

[Steve C. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi All

I have developed a Maven 2 plugin for running beanshell scripts.  I am
interested in releasing the plugin as open source and I have been advised
(by Eric Pugh) to submit it to the maven-plugins project to see if you are
interested.

I feel that this is a very powerful and useful plugin.  It allows
functionality to be quickly and easily added to Maven 2 builds without
having to write dedicated plugins.  It is easy to use and fits in well with
the build process.  This plugin will suit all those who wish it were easy t=
o
add scripted functionality to their projects in a similar way to what Jelly
used to do in Maven 1.

If you would like to look at it and use it, I have created a zip file which
contains the entire project.  You can download it at:
http://www.explosion-it.net/downloads/beanshell.zip

The zip file contains a fully built project, the site in the target
directory if you want to get a look at the docs etc.
It should build using Maven 2 (I am using version 2.02) if you want to buil=
d
it yourself.

I look forward to your feedback.

Should you decide to incorporate this plugin into the maven-plugins project=
,
I would be grateful if I could play a part in it's future maintenance and
development.
