The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Script Interpreter, version 1.9
https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-script-interpreter/ You should specify the version in your project's dependency configuration: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId> <artifactId>maven-script-interpreter</artifactId> <version>1.9</version> </dependency> You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page: https://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-script-interpreter/download.cgi Notable changes: - The basedir script variable is now the project directory, as the Maven Invoker Plugin documentation describes. Scripts that need their own directory can use the new scriptdir variable. - Without an explicit encoding, scripts are read as UTF-8 instead of the platform default charset. - Groovy's own classes are loaded parent-first, so a different Groovy version on the caller's class path no longer breaks compiled scripts.
