Usage
-----

This plugin contains generic code to evaluate any script that supports JSR223.
It is a matter of adding the right dependency and configure the script to evaluate.

<h3>Inline script</h3>

Use the script-tag to specify your script. Make sure you also define the engineName.

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scripting-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <engineName>groovy</engineName>
          <script>
          <![CDATA[
            // your groovy script
          ]]>
          </script>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <!-- ScriptEngines -->
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-jsr223</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.7</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
      
<h3>Script from File</h3>

Use the scriptFile-tag to refer to your script. The engine is based on the file-extension, but can be specified using the engineName-tag.

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-scripting-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <scriptFile>path/to/script.groovy</scriptFile>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <!-- ScriptEngines -->
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
            <artifactId>groovy-jsr223</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.7</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
