<description>
            This element specifies a directory containing the script sources of the
            project. This directory is meant to be different from the sourceDirectory, in that its
            contents will be copied to the output directory in most cases (since scripts are
            interpreted rather than compiled).
            The default value is {@code src/main/scripts}.
