The <foreach> task is part of the ant-contrib project on Sourceforge:
 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ant-contrib/ant-contrib/src/net/sf/antcontrib/logic

As an example of using it for your case:
  <fileset id="xmlfiles" dir="${sourcePath}">
    <include name="**/ejb-jar.xml"/>
  </fileset>

  <target name="xmlfs">
    <echo file="${basepath}/xmlfiles.xml"><![CDATA[
<files>]]></echo>
    <pathconvert property="xmlfiles" pathsep="," refid="xmlfiles">
      <map from="${sourcePath}${file.separator}" to=""/>
    </pathconvert>
    <foreach list="${xmlfiles}" target="genXmlFS" param="xmlfile"/>
    <echo file="${basepath}/xmlfiles.xml" append="true"><![CDATA[
</files>
]]></echo>
  </target>

  <target name="genXmlFS">
    <echo file="${basepath}/xmlfiles.xml" append="true"><![CDATA[
  <file>${xmlfile}</file>]]></echo>
  </target>

And just for completeness, since I also mentioned doing it with <script>:
  <target name="xmlfs">
    <delete file="xmlfiles.xml"/>
    <pathconvert property="xmlfiles" pathsep="," refid="xmlfiles">
      <map from="${sourcePath}${file.separator}" to=""/>
    </pathconvert>
    <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
      importClass(java.io.File);
      importClass(java.io.FileWriter);
      importClass(java.util.StringTokenizer);
      outfile = new File("xmlfiles.xml");
      var append = true;
      var lsep = project.getProperty("line.separator");
      out  = new FileWriter(outfile, append);
      files = project.getProperty("xmlfiles");
      out.write("<files>" + lsep);
      st = new StringTokenizer(files, " ,");
      while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
        file = st.nextToken();
        out.write("  <file>" + file + "</file>" + lsep);
      }
      out.write("</files>" + lsep);
      out.close();
    ]]> </script>
  </target>
