I managed to do it with the next code but there must be an easier way.

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>


<c:if test="${fn:length(attachments) > 0}">
    <c:forEach var="attachment" items="${attachments}" varStatus="loopCount">
        <c:if test="${loopCount.count eq 1}">
         attachment.id
        </c:if>
    </c:forEach>
</c:if>
