Launching BeanShell/Groovy from Maven?

I'm looking for a way to launch BeanShell (or Groovy, either one will 
work for me) from Maven.  My goal is to have an interactive scripting 
shell with a classpath containing all of my project's dependencies, and 
"target/classes" itself.

I'm new to Maven, it's not something I can figure out how to do myself. 
I've searched the web for an example but there was a lot of noise in the 
results since Groovy uses Maven to build, and Maven supports(?) writing 
plugins in BeanShell.

Has anyone done this?  It seems like it would make a really useful maven 
plugin, since it would let you test ideas without writing experimental 
classes and launch scripts, etc.

Thanks!

-james

FWIW if you want a groovy interactive shell then just change the 
classname in the above to groovy.ui.InteractiveShell

Okay, so I guess I was too impatient to wait for an answer to my 
question! After a bunch more research and some trial and error, I came 
up with the following maven.xml:

<project default="java:compile" xmlns:j="jelly:core"
   xmlns:u="jelly:util" xmlns:ant="jelly:ant">

   <goal name="bsh">
     <attainGoal name="java:jar-resources"/>
     <attainGoal name="java:compile"/>
     <ant:java classname="bsh.Console" fork="true">
       <ant:classpath>
         <ant:path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
         <ant:pathelement path="${maven.build.dest}"/>
       </ant:classpath>
     </ant:java>
   </goal>

</project>

Which appears to do what I want.  (You can change "bsh.Console" above to 
"bsh.Interpreter" if you don't want a windowed interface)

Hopefully some of you will find it useful.
