Try not using - in your variable name. In JSTL and Jexl this is treated as a
subtraction. Underscores, mixedCase or dots are fine though.
Also Xpath expressions can be relative to the parent forEach tag. One last
tip is you can use the XPath string() function to turn any node you find
into its XPath string representation (e.g. to get the String value of an
Attribute or Element).
So it can be simplified a bit to this...
<goal name="copy-jars">
<x:parse var="pluginXml" xml="file:./plugin.xml"/>
<echo message="${pluginXml}"/>
<x:forEach select="$pluginXml/plugin/requires/import">
<x:set var="pluginValue" select="string(@plugin)"/>
<echo message="Plugin is ${pluginValue}"/>
</x:forEach>
</goal>
