I think there's a confusion here with the root of your xpath expression..
you are asking for the /plugin/goal node - whereas the root of the snippet
is 'project'.

try /project/plugin/goal[@name='$prereqName']
or //plugin/goal[@name='$prereqName']

(/project makes it explicit, //plugin means "find every plugin/goal under
every node)

All E&OE (it's over a year since I've used XPATH)

Cheers,

Charles.

Thanx a lot !!!

It did just what I wanted, and that was a VERY quick answer (around 1 
minute if I trust mozilla mail ..) !
Are you a member of Geir-the-typing-monster's family ? :)
