Right, because we have the extra indirection of Maven plugin, running Ant
task, running script. You'll be able to shorten that to just Maven plugin
running script, so the key might be looking in the Ant source to see what
the <script> task does with a classpath ref.

It's worth mentioning that the difficulty only results from the weird stuff
Maven does with classpaths. If you just write a standalone hello-world-style
Java program that uses the ScriptEngineManager, you should find that it
Just Works. (As long as you're in Java 14 or earlier; for 15 of course you'd
need the two Graal jars on the classpath.)

So that might be an easy way to reassure yourself that you haven't missed
something in how you're calling it.
