Understand, here is the long version of that wish:

1. java -> groovy is very doable (compared to other language) so it is
the natural language for maven IMHO
2. groovy will have to support Java 9 - to be honest I worry as much
for a plain java lib than for groovy so guess it is 1-1
3. I'm happy to have a java scripting alternative (src/build/java)
which is not available outside the scope of a plugin (= no inherited
in compile or test scopes)

This is true but this is also mandatory today. There is a small
alternative to that and I would be as happy if maven can do it:
support mojo from the reactor (ie having a project with this layout:
parent/[module1, my-maven-plugin]). If this works then no need of
scripting
but today you must release the mojo before using it in your build
which imposes to use scripting.
