Hi Matthew,

> Is there any interest in this?

Yes, supporting scripting languages is a very appealing feature (be  
it Groovy, Ruby or simply BeanShell). There are 2 things to consider  
in my opinion.

1. This must be optional when generating the installers as most Java  
dynamic languages runtimes weight at least 1-2Mb each.

2. I would favor an approach where scripts are referenced rather than  
included in XML CDATA constructs (think of IDE support for instance).

Cheers
