I don't see why this wouldn't work, it should. I tried a little test
case modelled on your snippet and got the desired result. If you can't
get it to work, try to cut it down to a small reproducible test case and
attach it to jira.

I did that but the result is the same. In the goal, when it prints the
value of the property, instead of printing the value that printed in the
forEach loop, it just printed "true".

attainGoal is an empty tag:
<attainGoal name="${goal}" />
use j:set before that.

<goal name="processSpringContext">

This seems close, using "j:set" to set variables that I
reference in
the goal. However, it doesn't quite work. The first "echo" prints
the name of the file, but when I pass that into
"springContext.file"
and then dereference it in the called goal, it just prints "true".

It's antcall, not antCall. However, I don't think this works with
maven anyway, as maven has goals, not targets. You should transform
your targets into goals and use attainGoal to call them.

Duh. I should have known that.
Going on, however, I seem to be doing something wrong when I use
"antCall" in the forEach loop to call a target, or
something at a more
basic level. The following is an excerpt showing the forEach loop
that calls the target, and the target after it.
<j:forEach items="${springContexts.iterator()}"
var="springContext">
<echo message="springContext[${springContext}]"/>
<ant:antCall target="processSpringContext" inheritAll="true">
<param name="file" value="${springContext}"/>
</ant:antCall>
</j:forEach>
<ant:target name="processSpringContext">
<echo message="Processing the Spring context: ${file}"/>
</ant:target>
When I call this, the first "echo" shows the name of the
first file
(there's only file in the set), but the rest of the output is odd
(somewhat elided):
--------------
[echo] springContext[...\MyServiceContext.xml]
<antCall inheritAll="true" target="processSpringContext"><param
value="...\MyServiceContext.xml"
name="file"></param></antCall><target
name="processSpringContext"> [echo] Processing the
Spring context:
</target>castor:prepare-filesystem:
--------------
It puts the "antCall" code from maven.xml into the output,
showing the
substitution in the "value" attribute, but when it executes
the "echo"
in the target, it prints blank for the parameter value.

You can use jelly's forEach tag [1], eg here is a snippet
used in the
m1 xdoc plugin:
<fileScanner var="xmlFiles">
<fileset dir="${maven.docs.src}">
<patternset>
<include name="**/*.xml"/>
<exclude name="**/${maven.xdoc.navigation.file}" />
</patternset>
</fileset>
</fileScanner>
<j:forEach var="file" items="${xmlFiles.iterator()}">
...
</j:forEach>

I have a set of targets in an Ant script that I'm trying to
integrate
into a goal in subproject maven.xml. One of the steps is
to iterate
over a list of files found in a directory, using the Ant-contrib
"foreach" tag. This works fine in the Ant script, but when
I do this
in my maven.xml file, when it executes the "foreach" tag,
it seems to
want to find the specified target in a "build.xml" in the
same directory.
I'm guessing Ant-contrib's Foreach tag wasn't built to
allow for this
possibility. Is there a different way to do this that
will work in
Maven 1?
