What it is
BeanShellPlugin is a Plugin which opens a BeanShell (see http://www.beanshell.org) console in IDEA.
Using the BeanShell plugin one can enter java like commands in this console, launch a class browser, test new code or even plug in new actions into IDEA.
Read the file readme.txt to get instructions on how to set it up.
Version 1.3 is available. It works now with IDEA 3.0
The BeanShellPlugin is available here.

Is there any way to run an IDEA command from in here? For example, I'd like to be able to initiate compiles/ant tasks/finds/inspections from the BeanShell console...is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately there is no published API for this.

This doesn't seem to work very well for me in 3.0. I can't get it to recognize the classes from my project at all. Is there a trick that I'm missing?

Try a addClassPath("path/to/classes/"); Or check with print(getClassPath()); if your classes are loaded.
