+1 for making it easy to run babel locally.  Speaking for myself, I have a 
script that runs my group's BibTeX file through the babel web service [1] 
to generate a JSON file for Exhibit to display -- but at the moment my 
script fails for reasons that may be outside my control.

I checked out https://github.com/zepheira/babel just now, but am not enough 
of a Maven maven to grok the build system (reactors?  lifecycle phases?). 
 Is there an easy way to convert a BibTeX file to an Exhibit JSON file from 
the command line?

Current issue aside, thanks for making Exhibit!

[1] FTR, the meat of my script is:
$ curl --insecure --show-error --fail -F [email protected] -o 
mybibfile.js 
'https://service.simile-widgets.org/babel/translator?reader=bibtex&writer=bibtex-exhibit-json&mimetype=default'
which worked when I last checked a few weeks ago but now returns HTTP 400.
