This is simply a plugin to execute arbitrary BeanShell.
It provides much of the same functionality as the script-maven-plugin. It requires a bit less configuration than that, but the main reason for its existence is to write a beanshell-maven-plugin using the beanshell-maven-plugin-archetype.
So basically this is a Maven plugin that executes BeanShell scripts using the BeanShell Maven scripting support. It’s all very meta.
General instructions on how to use the Beanshell Maven Plugin can be found on the usage page.
