I ran my build.xml with "ant -d," and found the following:
Setting ro project property: plugin.name -> ${plugin.name}
Setting ro project property: plugin.version -> ${plugin.version}
Setting ro project property: versioned.name ->
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo
"forrest -d" says:
Setting ro project property: plugin.name ->
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo
Setting ro project property: plugin.version ->
Setting ro project property: versioned.name ->
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo
My forrest.properties says this:
project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo,
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.simplifiedDocbook
Out of curiosity, I added the plugin version.
project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo-0.1,
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.simplifiedDocbook
The debug trace of my build.xml changes to the following, and the
plugin is successfully installed.
Setting ro project property: plugin.name ->
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo
Setting ro project property: plugin.version -> 0.1
Setting ro project property: versioned.name ->
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo-0.1

I hope it's alright for everyone that I am thinking out loud here. If
not, please tell me so.
If you think that I really found a bug, and not just made a stupid
mistake, I'll gladly create an issue myself, and try to help resolving
it.

Yup, this will be fine.
